Disabled Landlords

I fell last week and damaged my artificial hip. I will have surgery to repair/replace it. I'll be out of action for a while, but should be back up to speed in a couple weeks.

It did get me thinking, is it possible to make decent money as a disabled landlord, having to hire most everything out? I've been in this business a while, and without the ability to do the minor things yourself, boy, it would almost be cost prohibitive to be a smaller, mom and pop, residential income property business. One of the things is climbing stairs, something I wont be able to do for a while.

I understand that with will and determination, anything is possible, but boy, it seems like it would be a tough row to hoe. I tip my hat to any disabled landlord.
