By poisoning the rats, you're letting them roam free into the world where people's pets can eat them, not wise. 

It doesn't sound like a showstopper to me.Did you ask the plumber if there is anything people can flush that will help keep the lines clear?

We have several people living in these homes.

And I 100% believe for average people owning real estate over a 10 year time horizon is the best opportunity to bring wealth, freedom and margin to their life. 

What the people that I talk to find is that they don't need to be confined to one area.  

People always say there's no value but that's not for you to determine.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

I do want to thank people for taking the time to answer this. 

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-)
