Rob, I know what you are saying, I just don't think a residential neighborhood is a place for them to be conducting a business like this espcially if it effects your neighbors. There are deed restriction to protect the neighborhood and property values. They can lease a commmercial property or unrestricted property for that purpose. I also found out that the house is being leased to them and the owner has been notified before about the violations and he does nothing about it. Obviously he is making money and sees nothging wrong with it. I also talked to the owner across the street who just had a lease broken only after few months, people didn't feel comfortable living there with small kids is what he was told.

--By the way does any one know how I can fix my post headline? it was late at night and I screwed it up pretty well--

Hello every body! I have been reading this forum for few months, gotten some great advice from people and like to introduce my self My name is Alex Ali, I am a RE investor in Houston Texas. I have been investing in REO properties for last few years. I bought this house few months ago, did not notice any thing unusual since only looked at property few times before buying. Come to find out the next door neighbor having some kind of school/social group for handicap people meeting every day next door to my house. There are mini van coming in and dropping people off and picking people up all the time, learned more about this when we started the rehab. After listing had many showing but all the response we get from showing realtor was that their client prefer to not live next to a that kind of property. There are definilty people living there as well and then many people coming in and out everyday in mini vans...some sort of school for mental handicaps is what I am told from another neighbor. I have put in too much money in this property to be stuck like this, talked to HOA today, she told me not much they can do since they cannot observe that in their monthly inspection. All they can do is send a letter and if I complain again they can send one more letter and then I have to take it up with the board. Not sure what to do....need some help!!
