However, most mortgage brokers have lists of complexes that are warrantable and non-warrantable and will know right away as well.

What are major qualifications to purchase an apartment complex?

I'm also looking to pick up a small apartment complex within 6-8months. 

If I had to speculate I would assume it probably has to do with a combination of being more stringent on the rental cap due to FHA guidelines and their requirements, along with wanting to preserve the building's atmosphere of being a condominium not a hotel.

I do have a friend who just bought in Arvada and even in just a few months prices have risen 25-35% in her complex. 

I am not broke and do have a little money saved up (about $16K total not including my 401K).So far, my favorite strategy is buy and hold smaller (preferably 10 to 75 unit) apartment complexes for cash flow.

The ideal situation for me is to start in his market because that's an area i visit anyway few times a year and starting with a multi family apartment complex there won't be that bad.

Hi Manuel,Triple net might seem simple but it is a very complex investment.

@Brandon SturgillI located my last 8 Unit apartment complex from Loop net. com

or if you can swing in financially are you better off buying a complex?
