These are very large beds in both the front and side of the house and it had not been maintained at all.  

@Devin Mann  unless its a very large commercial deal  IE in the multi millions.. there is no up front money like this.. 

I know this sounds crazy but very large banks, specifically ones that are publicly traded want to limit their risk. 

For fulfillment you can do it yourself to save money if you are broke, but ultimately if you want better response rates and focusing your time on value-add, then you will want to outsource fulfillment to a shop that has economies of scale and can offer you great rates.

I am purchasing a property 3 blocks away for a large, well-known medical establishment (3 hospitals, bio-science facility etc.)-  20 minutes from dt Denver.

I have a similar story which caused me to use Google Voice during the rental listing process, and also set up social media blocks early on.My Dad is a physician and also a landlord of several nicer condos in a large metro area.

Additional upside can be found in the areas you mentioned - ease of access, economy of scale with service providers, time efficiency for management, possibly offering additional price points in your portfolio, ...Contiguous property is worth more to adjacent owners.

I know a lot of my tastes/opinions are not those of the majority so if I remodeled a house to my liking, it wouldn't appeal to as large an audience as it could.

The dream scenario to acquire a large complex is through probate where several people now share in the ownership of a complex and none want to run it.

Most buyers won't mind you making a large profit if there is still meat on the bone.
