However my dilemma is that there is a large piece of land available for recreation of the tenants plus the home.

Most of time is tied up with my other commercial property on a big recreational lake.  

No sense in recreating the wheel.

There are about seven gated communities in the Pocono's and a good number of Private Communities  and they all serve a purpose: some are excellent for seasonal recreational activities while others due to location are excellent for commuters.   

The property is in a good area, It is adjacent to a multi-million dollar recreation center, run by the park district, It is also within a few miles of the largest employer in town.  

My goals for RE -  Create WIN/WIN situations for everybody involved in a deal, but understanding that WE need to make money to become efficient.- Creating a presence in the local market and working with other investors / realtors.

I seriously doubt I could recreate that timeframe in today's market, because I was buying during the "crash," and then rents shot up.  

The issue I have seen is the centralize kitchen and recreational area in an ALF that's not in a apartment.

The market seems to tell me exactly what I need to do with out recreating the wheel.

My wife is about to sit for her Real Estate license exam and we're both excited about what this industry has to offer.We have 3 children and really enjoy what this area of the country has to offer our family with the business and recreational aspects.
