The hardest part of any endeavor for me as I imagine is for most people is resistance.

I can't imagine that any other potential buyer wouldn't do the same thing, since this husband was known as somewhat of a "slumlord".   

Imagine how well I could have done if I knew what I know today.  

I imagine there are laws and zoning issues involved?

However, I'm doubtful that my broker will want to, or will do a good job of, reaching out to all 50 of these owners.From what I've learned of marketing directly to owners, I was imagining I'd do all the outreach, until such point at the owner was actively conversing with me about selling, at which point I'd start involving my broker.How are commercial brokers typically involved in marketing to and sourcing sellers "at scale" like I'm describing here?

We cannot have tenants threatening physical violence over a careless mistake at the free laundry we thought would improve the quality of life for our tenants, never imagining it would be a source of strife and potential violence. **** has made what in legal terms is a “Terroristic Threat” in response to another tenant making a simple error of not looking in the washer before starting to change the settings for their own load.

I imagine this is because it’s difficult to invest in a pool without being accredited or at least sophisticated.Regardless of the size or type of property, you do not need an NMLS registration in CA if you are only making business purpose loans.

I imagine I'd want some sort of agreement where I have right of first refusal to buy the homes should the owner ever want to sell. 

If she's this disorganized about money, I imagine she's not keeping it very clean, or remembering to notify you the sink has been leaking...etc. 

Katie these are probably a huge time sink and I can only imagine a lot of stress for the amount of money you're receiving.
