Thanks Gents,I'm sure I could find a better deal somewhere else, but I'd like to invest in markets that I know which are all in CA and mostly in expensive parts of CA (San Francisco, San Diego for example). 

I'm also eager to learn from all of you experienced investors out there!

Hey all,What numbers do you use when projecting repairs and maintenance costs for apartment buildings?

But do not discount your desire to come back to CA.Very helpful, and I will take all these into consideration, so thank you!

Answers to all that can be found here:  http://www.biggerpockets.com/syndicationbook.  

Jamie.I’ll definitely consult with you for our future needs.So far all 2 MTR and 2 LTR are rented out and I’m hoping to close the contract on our last one within the next few days but need to figure out how to target other non-medical who do not use Airbnb, VRBO, Furnished Finders, Apartments.com and Zillow .We are also building our own website to market our units.

Considering they are brand new, with a finish out well above and beyond the rest of the neighborhood I don't anticipate "nobody else wanting them" Thanks for your sarcasm, though That wasn't a personal accusation but I see people on here all the time that say "I found this piece of crap house in the hood for $10k, I can buy it and rent it to a Section 8 tenant and make a ton of money right?"

All of our MTRs are pretty baseline but do really well!

'Investing in Real Estate Private Equity' by Sean Cook is a great intro level book, that assumes you know nothing about the syndication space but it doesn't treat you like an idiot either, it takes you along and educates you2. higher level is "CRE analysis and investments" , a textbook by Geltner et al. which I loved, breaks down all aspects of CRE, how to underwrite etc. 3. lots of online stuff helpful too, like The Real Estate Syndication Show, recent episode belowOver 100 Passive Investments and Lessons Learned with Joe Fairless (youtube.com)4.

Looking forward to learning from all of you and perhaps sharing some of my own experiences along the way.
