Facilities Costs:
There are several things to consider when buying an apartment building; of these utilities is a particularly important part. For example, if the apartments do not have individual electric meters then you may have to pay all the electricity bills which is not an ideal scenario when renting out a place. In this case, if you do not want to install electric meters. You may include the electricity charges in the rent itself and therefore charge a higher amount. Of course if the people kept on rent realize that they are not specifically being asked to pay for the electricity used then they may simply misuse or overuse it deliberately or even unconsciously. And this can cause your electricity bills to be particularly high and therefore can result in reduced financial results in some months.

Quality and Location:
The apartments also have to measured before buying an apartment building. There are less takers for very small apartments. Also, the number of rooms in an apartment may determine the odds of getting new tenants. Typically, the higher the number of rooms, the more are the chances of successfully renting it out. The location of the apartment building has to be taken into account as well. If it's located nearer to important structures such as schools, hospitals, businesses or public transport points, then the apartments will become much more appealing.

The next step is to look for properties which fit your requirements. You don't need to employ a broker to do your negotiations; you can call up the landlord himself. Tact is necessary in this case and also an explanation as to your own identity and intentions. If the landlord refuses you can give him your contact numbers. A lot of investors buy from owners who change their minds. If however, the owner is interested, ask for the rent rolls and other financial and operational details of the place (as your offer will be based on that). Reports on total income for past year also have to be looked through. You can then make an offer as you see fit.
