There aren't many co-ops in Southern California, mostly in LA or a senior community in Orange County, but there's not much of a discount between condos and co-ops - at most, 10%.What is your source of the 10% difference data?  

Hello Bp Community,Im in my 5th year of real estate investing in Pennsylvania.

I've had a long career in community development and have a lot of bank contacts that would likely be interested in investing, but I'd need to prove the concept first with an initial fund (there are also a lot of other community development tools that could be leveraged to maximize and scale this).

Some PM companies take on higher end stuff (think Cul-De-Sac neighborhoods) and some focus on the hood.

Quote from @Taylor Kendrick: Am I alone in feeling like I'm being sold this idea rather than OP being genuinely curious about the community's thoughts?  

From what I remember it was focused on Smokey Mountains.

I asked him a lot of questions about the business and as soon as I got home I was doing research and joining RE forums focused on multi family.
