Being a pilot you are used to complex systems and should have nerves of steel...they will serve you well in Re.

I am using the same property manager for the apartment complexes too.

Quality mgt in a complex large enough to support it may be very hands-off.I have a hybrid in a mixed use building, but the apts pay the bills.  

Hi All, I may have found the right apartment complex to buy but I have no idea how to structure the purchase, ownership, monthly cashflow and selling it.

as an investor in Los Angeles and a resident of Houston/Sugarland I can share some experiences I have gone thru relating to the rental markets in both cities.in houston, its been a builders dream for the last 5 years no doubt, when i first moved to the city i rented a 1200 sqft 2bed2bath in a fairly decent complex for 1200 a month, now it goes for 1800 a month. housing in the suburbs went from 250 350 to 350 450 for a pretty standard suburb 3200+sqft housein los angeles something comparable to my houston rental would have been say 1700 a month in "the valley" and its probably now 2100-2200 a  month. 

Regardless of what the lease says in this instant, it is pretty standard that in apartment complexes the owner pays for pest control.

I suggest you listen to all the podcasts, starting with mine (LOL):http://Biggerpockets.com/show65I reveal there how I acquired a 100+ unit apartment complex worth $6M with only $5,000 out of pocket.
