If you are considering a commercial real estate investment, think big! If you believe that you can easily manage five units, you can probably easily manage 50. A five-unit building requires commercial financing just as the larger buildings do, and buying a larger building with more units costs less per unit.

If you are considering purchasing an apartment complex, be aware that smaller complexes can be more problematic than larger ones. In fact, veterans in the field typically advise avoiding any complex with fewer than 10 units. No situation is the same as another, and proper reseal should help you reach a knowledgeable decision regarding any purchase.
