@Richard Sherman Ya I'm ":old fashioned" too and Id prefer to be able to easily access my property if I need to.

No mortgage.I also have access to about $30k cash through a bond that I can tap into.

I've been interested in real estate for 6+ years, but because of financial resources, college, and other road blocks, I didn't make the jump into real estate investment until 2016 when I purchased my first property.

My understanding is that they owned the whole block along North Avenue.

We  had handicap signs and access lines painted to "removed barriers for access". 

I do want to assign access codes to tenants and contractors.Thanks BP!!

Having knowledge of how the court process works, as well as access to an attorney who can help, is the key, and you seem to be doing that.

I now believe the "buy the worst property on the best block strategy is much more lucrative, and attainable."

And it's not in the city proper, it's near the Eastern waterfront with access to private airports, marinas, and a golf course.

Around the brewery, it does seem sketchy, but if you go up a few blocks inland the area there is copmletely different.
