Joe FairlessMy guest today is  New Yorker Joe Fairless of Fairless Investing.  I was really looking forward to this podcast because I get one question over and over again;  “How do I go from investing in single family home, to investing in apartments?

I personally have seen a lot of real estate investors that made this leap from one to the other seamlessly.  I have also seen folks that experienced disastrous results when going from single family to commercial investing. So today we will just ask someone that has done it successfully.
