Real estate professionals and AIPIS students should ready themselves to profit from the apartment rental market surge that is already underway. But first, a disclaimer. We don’t recommend that a first time income property investor jump right into buying an apartment building. This is a larger size project that works better if you get your feet wet through single family residential properties beforehand. Sort of a crawl before you walk mentality. And we certainly don’t suggest you sell out your entire portfolio of properly diversified income properties to take on the challenge of an apartment building.
