Any luck with Apartment Units?

[Ibrahim Yamini]

I keep hearing “start small”, when it comes to real estate.  I’ve also heard that the focus should be Single Family Homes or Duplex’s.

What is your opinion on Apartment units? I saw an affordable one at a decent price and the HOA fees aren't that high. The numbers work for me so far but I'm curious about those who've done it.

Have any of you bought singular apartment units?  

If so, what were the drawbacks?   What were the successes?. Do you think it a wise investment?
