I would rather take the first position and control my losses then to be at the mercy of senior lien holders who could care less about my lien interest or my money.There are investors who only play in the B piece and above arena instead of first position but is high risk.I think the risk the junior investor is taking on is more than fair asking for their requirements.

.$1000. dollar assessments are common in my area for senior citizens in effort reduce their property taxes, compliments of our county tax payers.

As a consequence, cities are running larger deficits and going bankrupt and the citizens in those Cities are paying higher taxes in support of amenities shared with the subdivisions (schools, arenas, etc).The initial attempt to address this imbalance of tax-base to services was an accelerating trend towards amalgamation of bedroom communities that we have seen over the past 20-years.

I'm curious to know what its like for citizens of other countries, both in terms of investing in real estate abroad and here in the USA.

Maybe they've been here a very long time, own property and business, have had kids (citizens) here and are in line to become citizens. 

I was wondering if this would be a good place to invest in senior housing, since having this close by would be an advantage for older people as they wouldn't have to go far to shop.
