That's a really vague question. Yes, buying an apartment building in the right location, in a market/sub-market with strong fundamentals can be good. You need the following: 

1. Sound management and operations

2. Solid financing

3. Good positive cash flow over 1.25 DSCR

4. Ample cash reserves (6-9+ months of P&I)

5. Experience

6. Experienced team

7. A solid building with out deficiencies or properly budget for those deficiencies

8. Strong business plan
