Agreed, not a large amount of money.

Was told they wouldn’t take my money because no one will forcefully remove someone at his age and mental state.

I was under the impression that Section 40-10-83 only applies if an ejectment lawsuit is brought by a tax deed holder (judicial redemption).The most confusing part to me is, if the property owner doesn’t have the money for their taxes, how in the world are they going to have money to pay my legal fees?

And if the deal goes bad, you lose them money and the relationship.I would spend some time reading about partnerships and how to structure them properly so you don't get in a bind.

I think it's because it costs money to train them and they (mangers) think it's best to just send them out and hope they learn on their own.

ROI do not take into account time value of money (selling the asset at year 8 instead of year 2 at the same price, your ROI is relatively similar, but your IRR is far from being the same).4- LEarn to analyze your portfolio: aggregate altogether all your assets and analyze if there's any project cash flow that would be required (balance of sale, loans, etc).

I currently have two houses being built for sale and we need the money from our property.

In either scenario you want to make sure you account for the "cost" of the money in your deal analysis so you account for your HELOC or mortgage payments.  

You will have to get the alderman on board (politics..) and then the neighbors about hours and parking..It's a cool project, it feels like you make an impact on the community, but I would only do that if I had too much money, nothing to do with my time and looking for a proper challenge.

My suggestion for your situation is to work hard and save up as much money as you can for a down payment.
