I would prioritize finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.There are 20+ accountants on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation.

With that, people regularly tell me they prefer these parks due to screening/safety and overall feel of the place.

I thought of maintenance issues, creativity ideas I had, repairs needed, safety concerns and also alerted the owner who was very appreciative.

Are there more requirements locally to maintain safety standards, or is that the business' responsibility within the assisted living facility?

Let her know it is a safety issue and someone in parking spot #2 could injure themselves.

There's too many variables of safety for me to consider it.Thank you both for your input!

My advice is to prioritize what you are looking to accomplish in real estate, from what you've said you have a good picture of where you want to go.

rents offer you a margin of safety..

If you were to do a non-FHA loan and rent the entire property and occupy a simple abode in a neighborhood that meets your personal safety criteria how would the numbers look then?

If there are no good places to look in those areas (due to cost, safety, availability etc.) then I am open to suggestions or just good places for STR investment in general.
