Best place to find small to mid sized apartments

[Michael Hakes]

What is the best way or place to look for small to mid sized apartment complexes?

Is there a good way to find them off market, zoning office maybe?

1. Pick a market

2. Go to Loopnet and create a list of 20 brokers

3. Contact brokers, letting them know your investment criteria

4. Follow-up every two weeks with brokers, providing them with a piece of information that shows them your ability to close on a deal and asking if they have any new deal currently or on the horizon
