How to Buy Your First Multi Family Small Apartment Building

Great stuff. Can any of you apartment owners tell me if there's a lot of drama with multiple tenants? Repairs like "overflowing" toilets? Is it a headache? Also what legal protections (Liability Insurance) do you need on properties like these?

There are some...few good Sec 8........most are nightmares......after experience.... Sec8/T.R.A./S.S.I. ...all translate into: "Nothing to do but sit on my ass, hang around, smoke cigarettes, as my kids tear...ur...place....apart"...long live BeBe's kids !!!

You'll get richer quicker being a landlord for multiple properties ..if you can't deal with the stress use a property management company. Also, you you can set up clauses in lease contracts that tenants are responsible for 1st $100 of repairs for shit they usually break.

backed up toilets/plumbing are put on my tenants....negligence and neglect.....if the back up is in the main pipe...it's on me only cause I can't pin it on one tenant.....I got one like that tho....6 family is one building....but water/sewer service is split down the middle.....one side had two empty apartments.....the one occupied got pinned with the back up costs cause they were the only ones there for like 2 1/2 months.....useless kids poured grease down the drain !!!

Lots of drama , repairs and law suits. I represent some big apartment owners and it’s awful. But I must say that when you have a 250 unit complex, there’s a lot of money to be made. I don’t know about small apartment buildings making money though.
