I work for a capital improvements company in Portland, we serves the apartment industry… how do I make the transition into apartment investing with under $50k in capital?

@Jeff G., this sounds like a great strategy for other parts of the country.  But unfortunately it isn't possible to purchase anything for under $50k in the Portland area.

@Drew Mim Mack, do you own the home you live in?  If not, you could start by purchasing a duplex and living in one side while you rent out the other.  You'll qualify for better financing since it will be an owner-occupied property.
