However, i have one duplex in particular that I recently bought and I cannot even get the tenants to pay the rent on time, and one of the tenants is elderly and cannot walk without assistance.

I came to Uganda in 1987 after my high school to visit my elder brother, Mohammed El Hamid, the owner of Pan Afric Impex.

The sellers were elderly and the husband was a hoarder.

If you were not able to interact if needed during your normal job I would not recommend being a GC to one property let alone 3/4 at a time.Question 2What I did was found an elderly contractor who was very skilled in all aspect of construction.

You see an elderly lady with a neglected home who might not be able to move while the next person sees an older lady who will be able to finish her life in a nursing home.  

Unfortunately, when we get to be elderly it’s not always what we want but what is best for their quality of life.

I got an interesting phone call from an elderly client yesterday. 87 year old woman who regularly goes to the hairdresser every 2 weeks.Hairdresser is located in a shopping center that's next door to a Mercedes dealership.Evidently customers of the Mercedes dealership routinely park in the shopping center and the center's management company has warned the Mercedes dealership on multiple occasions.My client drives a Mercedes.My client goes in for an hour and gets her hair done.

Secondly neighbors talk, hit every house and you may find leads from their friends or maybe they spoke to the elderly woman's family who is moving into an assisted living home.

@Ayana MillerWhen looking for strictly owner financing, I suggest looking for elderly or "tired" landlords, who want to get away from being a landlord.You can ask for a Master Lease Option (basically like a lease option, but tailored to rental property that you plan to hold on to,) Subject To (if there is a loan in place and you take over the payments - if there is equity you can offer a promissory note or second mortgage for the difference,) straight out owner financing for at least 2 years, so then you can be in a position to refinance through a portfolio or conventional lender.As far as interest rate, you can try with 5%, but most of them are looking for a better return than other investments like IRAs, so 6% or higher are more appealing.Usually you can finance 100% of the price, but most of these properties might not be in the best areas of town. 

We were at the bank & an elderly lady was handing the teller next to me a paper bag full of cash still in the original bank bands.
