Can I renovate this area to a studio apartment and rent it to a seperate tenant.

Had my eyes opened the other day though on a new apartment bus tour I went on and saw many of them going with black appliances.

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m Frank, a part time real estate investor.

Why don't you keep your current job, and do the BRRRR on a part time basis, and see if you like it?

Hey BiggerPockets,I'm interested in starting my real estate investing with small apartment buildings (around 5-12 units) in the Pittsburgh area but am having a tough time finding real estate agents who excel with these property types.Any suggestions on generating leads and finding agents who specialize in this apartment building size?

You might ought to be learning how to raise money, form Partnerships,  purchasing apartment complexes, and having positive cash from day 1 could be the best way to go. 

I do have the luxury of age, I started age 30.

I live in California and the rent goes up $100/a year for my 2 bedroom apartment.

But I think that disqualifies me from collecting a % on any deals I may be apart of and acting as the agent in the deal, thus saving some costs? 

We found a serious mice infestation in one of the apartments and are considering notifying the tenant (written) on our findings, order the pest control service and have it billed to the tenant but was wondering if anyone has done this differently with results.
