I know this has probably been asked (and answered) a million times, but can you act as your agent when buying an investment property?

When I owned Langer Mortgage in Oakland back in the late 80s  we had over 250 local investors .. that represented just under 50 million out..

If you have 500k -1 million dollars I would say 50% should be in a retirement fund, the next part is up to you. 

Should that investor be looking at diving into a bigger deal such as 2 million apartment? 

His net worth is currently in excess of 10 million dollars.

I'm sure there are a million different ways....

Yes there is some margin rate interest built into the expense ratio so your dividends (if any) may suffer slightly but, these funds are usually on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars so they aren't paying the 5-8% margin rate that an individual investor would be. 

Hey John Torres , I'm also immersing myself with books and knowledge in apartment investing, since that is the route I am pursuing as well.Here is some recommended books: -Investing in Apartment Buildings, by Matthew Martinez-Commercial Real Estate Investing For Dummies by Peter Harris-Multifamily Millions by Dave LindahlAlso, I regularly listen to podcasts from BP, Joe Fairless, Peter Harris, Michael Blank, Reed Goosens, Old Capital Real Estate for apartment investing information.They are all gold in my view and I am sure all this knowledge will catapult me to the next level in the apartment investing arena.

We bought the unit complex for 2.4 Million in June 2014 and now (less than 2 years later) it is worth 4.2 Million.  

This is how I got my first investors I sold them a home to  live in or a ranch they always wanted.. ( I mainly sold land in the early days)... when you have buyers that are buying 250 to 5 million dollar or more hobby ranch's those are the people you want to know and by being the broker I got to know them well and there ya go capable profitable successful folks and you  have a direct pipeline to them.
