Sven & Rebecca Dienst have been looking to fully supplement their current income with investing in apartments. This, husband and wife team, have been self-employed for many years. They were worried that if their business slowed down or one of them became disabled; would they have enough money to live on. They first invested in apartment education and then formed their acquisition team with a mentor, equity investors, real estate attorney, management company, and a apartment lender BEFORE they started to search for apartments. In the last few years, they have purchased a few apartment buildings. For Sven & Rebecca, apartment investing has become a good alternative to supplement their income.
