If you could get this place for a screaming good price it would possibly take some of the edge off the headaches it could bring.

But I did hear a local fireman became a regular visitor after he helped pump out the basement.

I'm not sure if this is a small problem that can be fixed relatively easy or this is a huge problem that screams STAY AWAY!

Just throwing together a general real estate template, without the conversion rate optimization elements built in and continually honed... will get a site up but it may not convert very well. w/ 100 visitors to a website, a 2% bump in conversions is 2 extra leads per 100 visitors.

@Crystal Smith  Hehe, in south Atlanta I'm pretty sure every neighborhood screams murder!

Or should I opt for the digi-pad where tenants enter a pin at the gate, and where each flat has its own telephone intercom with a button to admit visitors?

I think if you can do it really well so that it looks like you had a designer and a custom cabinet maker vs. piecing together some craigslist finds, it will stay in style for a long time - or at least not be something that screams dated in a few years.

For me, that is a screaming deal because I am looking for cash flow and want to leave my full time J.O.B.

If I can pool visitors to 3x a week and have them screen themselves out using their system, I could possibly come up myself that often to show (though would be nice to pay someone $25 to show up for a half hour instead?)

If you bring an established investor a screaming deal and ask to be cut in/learn I think you'll go far.
