In the past year, we have been able to joint venture with another investor in a 48 unit property and currently, we are working on closing a 24 unit complex by ourselves.

And the wholesaler became hard to reach  and I recorded my Option.No one wanted to follow as this got more complex.

Hello Everyone, I am under contract to purchase an apartment complex with 16 units.

However, I'm looking to purchase some multi family / apartment complex units.

My targets are mid-sized apartment complexes and mobile home parksWhy I'm planning to employee my own lead generator / analyst - feel free to criticize my plan.Prices are really high for apartment complexes right now.

However, I have no idea where to start looking for small apartment complexes from 10 units to 50 unitsAny ideas??

Which is why anyone who is not simply parking capital and expects an apartment complex to run as a profitable business cannot make the numbers work in Vancouver (or much of Toronto) at the moment. 

Seeking a management company that manages your type of asset (SFH, apartment complexes) can be a good strategy if you feel uncomfortable managing your own.  

I hear about people buying 50 unit complexes that have never owned, or managed a unit.

It also reduces the risk that someone tries to claim they don't owe you a commission (state laws vary on how to qualify as the "procuring cause" and this can get complex fast).
