Boot Camp-Eight Weeks to Educate on Purchasing and Managing Apartment Buildings

Anthony Chara is an experienced investor in apartments who has also mentored hundreds of students. The eight week program begins with a three day boot camp where students are taught the full process of buying apartment buildings, from locating the property, quick analysis, and making an offer.

Many people spend so much time looking into every nook and cranny that they lose their focus and never get around to making an offer. The quick analysis takes about five minutes, then it’s time to make an offer. Since the analysis and offer are made quickly in order to tie the property up, it is important to have escape clauses built into the contract. This protects the investor in the event of an unforeseen detail in the property arises, making the deal less desirable.

Investors also need time to perform their due diligence to confirm the accuracy of the numbers received from the seller are accurate. If there are discrepancies, further negotiations on price and terms are needed to come to an agreement. The final step is to teach students how to close the deal.

This is a lot of learning packed into a three day event. Many come home and put their books away and get back to their same routine. They never take action and apply what they have learned in the boot camp. To avoid having students held back by fear or lack of confidence, there are eight weeks of follow up consisting of teleseminars and webinars to get through that mindset and give students an action plan to follow.

Teamwork is the Key to Successful Investing in Apartment Buildings

Real estate has proven to be an effective means of reaching a desired lifestyle of comfort. The challenging decision to make is the particular area of real estate to go into. The bottom line is whatever area of real estate you enter the key to success is research, networking and coaching.


It has proven that buying an apartment building with a group of people is far more profitable than purchasing the property alone. Building a solid team is paramount especially on the first or second deal. With a team, the risk is being spread so in the event of financial crisis, the team as a whole will cover the challenge. With a team of multi-talented professionals to share the workload, each partner performs their given task, including bookkeeping, repairs and maintenance, collections, tenant relations and more. Each partner is of the same mindset; they share same goals, therefore, they are all motivated to do quality work as their contribution to the venture.

An important step for the team to consider is financing. The lender will want to see an appraisal on the building, and the business plan that shows income and expense flow. During this investigation period the lender will determine profitability of the investment to be sure the venture covers expenses including mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities and repairs. The lender wants to there is enough profit to cover any losses, including vacancies, non-paying tenants, eviction costs, and upcoming repairs and maintenance. The more the cushion that’s left over each month, the less stringent the lender will review the credit worthiness and reserves of the perspective buyers. Simply put, if the investment is not profitable, the lender will not approve the loan. One factor to remember is that when an investor buys an apartment building, they are buying a business. The building must stand on its own financially and create the money to support the business. A great team with a great business plan reduces the lender’s risk concern.
