Hello -Like many others here (apparently), I am brand new to BP and recently stumbled across it via the podcast.Long story short - I have a full time job but don't particularly like working 40 hours/week nor do I particularly like working under someone.To that end, I began to consider real estate investing as a means to alter my life.

Hey Team -A little bit of background here is that I currently have 4 rentals in Sacramento and 2 in Houston as well as completing flips but have now decided to venture into apartment complexes.Just had an offer accepted and am now trying to piece the process together as it's a bit different from what's needed from the SFR side.Some details about the purchase thus far:Purchase Price - $771,000Gross Current Rents - $8,400Potential Income - $10,200Here's what I'm asking for:Rent rollLeases for all units Profit and loss statement Operating income + expensesUtility billsMy thoughts process-wise:Receive/confirm the income + expensesConfirm condition via a property inspectionIf all checks out - complete the purchaseAside from some moral support from the BP team, my ask is if - at a high-level - I'm missing any other points?
