One can spend hours talking about risks.At a high level you can remove all risks by doing 2 things 1) Adding disclaimer when you sell AND/OR 2) Doing double close aka you buy first and then you sell. 

Don't worry brother, I feel your pain having a little less to offer here.The best use I have found for my tech skills: connections, and connections with money.

I think it just depends on your tolerance level and the terms of the deal.

The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to study and learn your market at the ground level.

Hi everyone,In the past I posted about Residential Assisted Living but is anyone out there doing this on a commercial level? 

I've spoken to a few people who live in and nearby the town - all of them say it used to be bad but hasn't flooded in years, and the water level doesn't rise as much as it used to when it does rain.

From my perspective only, money is pretty good at leveling the playing field.

They lend at higher rates but are also willing to fund deals for borrowers with poor credit, income, debt levels and experience. 

It does raise a red flag being on the market that long but if you can get it at a very very low price and your risk level can be greatly reduced and if you use very conservative numbers on rent and and very liberal numbers for repairs and vacancy then I would consider moving forward.
