When I was buying apartment complexes in 2011 it was nearly impossible to get investors into the deal.

Now I understand what it takes.I am looking to invest in multi-family and apartment complexes.

I suppose the short answer is contacting the local Planning and Zoning Commission to get an understanding on What mixed useage is allowed in the complex .What is your Cost Conversion per square foot if the town allows this to happen ?"

Scot's post was more like a healthy dose of complex carbohydrates.

So Ive been working as a leasing agent for an apartment complex in Dallas, Texas for over 8 months now  and over these past few weeks ive been thinking about becoming an investor my self , but i dont want to quit my job for the simple fact that i need money to cover for my living expenses .

She has been in the same condo since new the place was built in 1971 .Total complex has about 500 units ,an 18 hole PGA Golf course and a Marina with access to Gulf Bay .Say what you will about " God's Waiting Room " but if I had to venture a guess I would say the average age here is 65 + and counting lol!!

does anyone have any advice on finding apartment complexes for sale in the long island (new york) market. 

We have talked about MF complexes but don't see any good deals the give a good enough return.

I also advise you to listen to Podcast 115 since that has to do with apartment complex investing.

Evictions in NY and I assume in other states for mobile homes are already more complex and take much more time (6 months plus in some cases), I don't need this aggravation as an owner.
