On the HUD website it says only that: At least 80 percent of the units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older; andThe facility or community must publish and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate the intent to operate as "55 or older" housing; andThe facility or community must comply with HUD's regulatory requirements for age verification of residentsThis all seems a bit too easy to me, but can't really find step-by-step directions anywhere to do this.

I believe in this way of investing, but simply not seeing the fruits of my labor in terms of returns.  

Manage the hell outta this thing (trim fat, milk it, produce fruit, etc...), save.

It seems that my most fruitful leads have come from a pre-foreclosure list.

Have multiple exits in mind starting with your first preferred method followed sequentially by the other exits prioritized if your first exit strategy isn't going to bare any fruit.

Once I had to feed the kid an entire box of fruit snacks to keep him from rummaging through the current tenant’s belongings.

Most importantly, they don't let you reap the fruit of your work until retirement age without a stiff penalty(unless you do a Roth SDIRA in limited circumstances).

There is no MLS for NYC, Streeteasy is the name of the game and it's public-facing and free for users (not free for agents).

Hopefully there is low hanging fruit you can address to minimize the permeation.

ROI is to cash on cash like fruit is to strawberry.
