Also, let’s say I find a deal that may look interesting (by looking at the physical condition of the property), how do I figure out the costs such as insuranse, garbage/sewer, water etc?

Divorces, custody battles etc..etc..  

I have worked with well over 200 Senior parks across Florida over the past 10 years and have physically been in a heap load more than that.

Real estate includes many different aspects or "classes", we have the theories of real estate, the physical, side of land and improvements.

I physically can not do this yet considering I am out of the states for six more months, but I am already starting with BP and other social networks.

In other words, you're ONLY obligated to his broker for the properties the agent physically shows you, not any properties you find on your own and not any properties shown to you by other agents/brokers.

Many associations don't hold regular meetings but are financially and physically healthy.  

Do you go by there physically every month to pull out the filter and see if it's new? 

You can use a custodial account or if you wish to have more control special purpose LLC can be utilized to gain checkbook control and minimize custodian fees and eliminate their involvement in the investment.
