@Tom OrmandYou have come to the right place to connect with the wide array of real estate professionals and investors.

California is infested with vast numbers of bums, but we saw zero, yes zero, in Vilnius, the Capital of Lithuania, and just three drunks at the train station in Rome and one guy with a tent near a castle.  

We vastly prefer brick-veneer properties when we can get them, slate roofs always a plus, the least major upgrading and modification on the original build possible.

New Jersey Black balled due to the byzantinian array of local laws.Hurdle #3 Hawaii Black balled because I can't drive there.Hurdle #4.

@Joseph Cacciapaglia I couldn't agree with you more, and like you I find people's concepts of economics vastly different from those I studied in university.

Not a super-helpful answer I know, but the options are pretty vast!

Assisted living can take on a vast degree of care from nothing to hospice type care.

IF the people who move here don't turn it in to the high tax, high regulation, high cost of living copy of the places they are fleeing.We have no income tax, low property tax, very low maintenance housing, very rare weather events, an insane array of entertainment and food options for our size, crazy cheap flights, and relatively light traffic.BUT, we have had some massive tax hikes lately and yet they want more.

Have you considered doing another of those, and continuing to hold the vast majority of your nest egg in a safe but high yield account until more deals come available?

Look for someone more local, or that would treat your property special rather than big box managers that just treat you as a plug and play member in their vast management portfolios.
