Working with your landlord?

Aaron J.

Hey guys,

I'm currently renting a unit while in the pursuit to be an investor. I am in a 50 unit apartment complex. The owners are amazing and take excellent care of the property.

My goal is to be a buy and hold investor with a wide variety in my portfolio. Initially I planned on starting out small and house hacking a duplex or triplex before becoming an "investor", while eventually working my way up to large apartments.

My question is this:

Would it be safe to reach out to my current landlord and offer to work with him? As far as I know he only owns two properties, both of which are free and clear. I would like to offer the idea of selling one to me, or allowing us to work together. I am just unsure if letting him know of my intentions are a good idea or not.
