@Eli Kalen your deal is not bad at all.

You could also focus on the great financial advantages of renting/down-sizing (travel more, no more yard to care for/repairs, buy an RV, visit family more)Host a senior-focused event at your facility (maybe show an uncut version of Woodstock haha) or live music, a Social Security expert speaker or Doctor to address health issues, a fund-raiser, art show, etc. and hand out flyers with a special "one month free" coupon attached Have exercise classes for seniorsWeekly bingo nightsPromote your events for free on community calendars, newspapers, seniors sections of papersPrint door hangers and get some kids to hang the door hangers at trailer parks, older communitiesEncourage your current tenants to invite friendsRent a 15-passenger bus ($50) and offer free transportation to key eventsSponsor events at senior centers in the areaCo-Sponsor service club (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc who have many senior members) eventsPut up banners and balloons when you have eventsI hope at least a few of those ideas might spark some interest.

I'm more the type of person that needs affirmation (good or bad), just thought it be worth throwing out to people that have either thought of this or physically experienced it.Once again.ThanksAlan

That’s not to say that I’ll take any deal good or bad, so will definitely be thinking on it some more before moving forward.

They bring in national speakers twice a year that have something to pitch, but mostly it is just good information and networking.

@James Wise,I'm not sure if it just shows how a few years in the industry jades you, but with 75% of them, i thought "Not that bad, just need some good bleach and a hefty scrub brush!" 

I think your trying to make a bad deal sound better.

We offer investors in our markets (San Diego and San Jose) free price analyses and our opinions on the property they are looking at purchasing as well, to help them try to avoid purchasing a bad rental.

I might tell them I got it so cheap because it is in such bad condition, that is what it is worth.
