In our Co-Investing Club, we all have access to bigger projects without needing to put up all the cash ourselves.Breaking into larger apartment complexes really comes down to vetting operators and deals thoroughly.

if you do that, can you do the cost segregation for the new apartment complex you buy through 1031 exchange?

While they do have a monthly minimum charge (last time I checked about $40... that figure is good up to about 20 doors... so it works out to be about $2/month / door for us.)While I will talk about my experiences, most of these types of services offer a similar set of features... but these cloud based providers make landlording A LOT more convenient!

It can feel like feature overload.

If my partner and I purchase the complex, do any finances with the complex transfer over to us?

We've found it has superior reporting features and integration features and is overall more efficient to work with than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.

On paper, they looked like a strong borrower, but the tax-return complexity from multiple businesses made things messy.Here’s what ultimately worked for them:✔️ Used a closed-end second to tap equity✔️ Qualified using a 1-year P&L instead of full tax returns✔️ 738 FICO✔️ 81% CLTV✔️ $225K loan amount✔️ The lower-documentation structure brought DTI from 61% → 49%, which finally made the renovation feasibleWhat stood out in this situation was how alternative documentation options can make a real difference for people with layered income or complex business activity.

Could be anything —• A screening question you added• A maintenance workflow that saved you headaches• A tool/software feature you discovered• Something you implemented with tenants that reduced calls• Or even just something simple that improved your sanity 😅I’ll start: For me, adding a required “hold fee” for out-of-state applicants dramatically cut down on last-minute drop-offs.

I know its odd to come into a new field with a niche already picked, but my family owns a property management company and a 180 unit complex that they run.
