I won't go into detail, but I bought 20 acres next to National Forest in Utah and made it self sufficient: 2 homes, 70' serviceable wind generator, automatic tracking solar panels, a roomful of batteries, a half acre pond (12' deep with rubber liner) and a deep well.It also had a 24x30 garage built OVER a concrete basement of same size with steel door entrance.

The land is zoned R200, and is situated at the back of the school property (as opposed to the front entrance).

Above pic: Front door entrance, with washer/dryer and closet next to the door.

It read: 'MAIN ENTRANCE'

:cool: So here it is:I ran across an owner who has a 32 unit property (22 studios), near Arizona State University, highly visible commercial area-- wants to sell for betwen $1.4-$1.5 million.SPECS:Each unit has large living quarters, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, living room, and each unit has separate entrance.

The shower is not up to code as the entrance is too close to the wall.

The cell tower equipment is in a walled off section with its own entrance.

Look at plot map and ask them about topo survey -- that will have countors --then look at creeks and valleys - stay away at least 25 feet above creek water line - or flood lines - county also have flood maps- Also- for everyone - Flood Insuracne is a ripoff- My house - in Stone Mountain ( Atlanta suburb ) Georgia -I lived for ten years and no insurance required- then I got a notice and had to buy flood insurance for $2600 per year premium-- Problem is they do not exclude land - Mortagge Company - Lender - wanted full appraisal value for insurance. even though mortagge is only 80% appraisal and land will not damage -- also eleveation certificate shows my house entrance is above flood level but crawl space is below --and i had to buy insurance.

Build a gate around the community (ideally 50-100 homes) and create a sign in the front, and make it into a "gated community"; one entrance, and hire a security officer (this would be AFTER it actually got up on its feet).

How does the owner let others have entrance?
