Apartment complexes with a lot of improvements?  

I have two investor friends that have acquired an 18-unit apartment complex under sub-to the existing mortgage.

I know apartment complexes will appreciate here in SoCal, but i hate that negative cash flow position.  

I want to jump into mid-sized apartment complex investing.

@Joe Holly  your tenant base in the B - C and D  are mostly money order folks and cash.REason:1. bounced to many checks and they are in a federal data base and will never be able to open a checking account under that SSN again2. foreigners  Hispanics don't trust banks and just use cash.The Aussie clients I had were astounded that renters could be in such a place as their system is far more advanced than us... no checks in AU  everything is electronic.

Hi all,Does anyone know if any jurisdictions publish data on their tax lien sales (face values, winning bids, etc.)?  

They're also finding it convenient to be close to public transit, entertainment venues, sports complexes, gourmet restaurants, and museums.We see this across the country from Brooklyn, NY to Chicago, to Los Angeles.

You can use the price they bought it for as a data-point, but it's really secondary to the what data you can find in recent, comparable sales.Hope that helps!

I plan on being a landlord and get a steady income by buying an apartment complex for the time being.
