I did notice these warning signs but I made excuses for them hoping that it would get better and that when it did, I would have an A star crew.

One would need to be a serious sucker to value some Airbnb 5 star reviews and some sheds in the backyard at $200k+.Not necessarily.

@Diogo Candido i'm definitly up for a good challenge ;) Looking at what is in the market already, it seems we would need to "build" some kind of 4 or 5 star hotel but ready for seniors.Then we would have two options:1) find an operator to run the assisted business who would be our tenant (not the seniors) and pay us a rent;2) manage the property and the assisted business;At this point in my life, i would be only interested in number 1).
