I thinking serving he city with a lawsuit and then settling right out of the starting gate to make this an adult or senior living community.Who own's the senior center and why do they have more pull than you?

@Jeff Gates  do you use the moneygram service and/or checkfreepay?

I know an older couple in a 55+ gated community.

@Bobbi Martinez and @David Gates,Maybe us newbies are overthinking the whole thing?

Those things are fine.We have a steep staircase in the unit, I really want them to get  a child safety gate for it, but I know that's out of our reach from an enforcement perspective (also, don't want to be liable for a faulty gate, etc.). 

., not dropping by anytime)...You could even get economy of scale when you do maintenance--just build a gate (with lock) and run the lawn mower right over both lawns, clean both gutters on the same day, easy commute for turn arounds and showings...Who says you can't pick your neighbors (you potentially could!)...

Some people out the gate before stating their names have asked "Make me an offer?"

It is nice and large new home in gated community.

Very impressive to have some good ideas to find deals/clients right out of the gate. 

What sort of rehab costs will be needed out of the gate?
