Marg is on Social Security and is living with care.Kat pays Marg in Cash, in order not to jepordize the elderly womans (Marg's) SS.The FHA will not accept this, as they want to see proof of rent paid, but the sellers do not want the rent coming in as it could jeopardize their mothers (M) SocialS.The elderly woman owns the house outright and is quite flexible when it comes to payments and allowing my friend to possibly stay another 6 months in order to satisfy the FHA, but is at that point where she would like to get her estate in order for her will and would not be able to carry financing for a long period.

(Rock Port just outside Corpus Christi, TX) My mother in law's house was unfortunately demolished by Hurricane Harvey.I'm not from the area and would love any advise on how to find a local builder I can use to build another house on her lot.

I don't know.. you have doctors and nurses renting those.. and they are just pleased as punch to have a great place to live they never move.. really solid renters for sure.

I started out after college in my early 20s as a single mother, waiting tables, making OK money for a 20 something, but not enough for any kind of RE purchase. 

Somehow, my cousin is convinced that if something worse were to happen to his parents (they are 90 and 88 yrs old with increasingly challenging health issues), and they would to be cared for in a nursing home, that the state of NJ would step in and claim all the assets to "pay" for their care.  

Also my dad is a contractor... worst businessman in the world, married to my mother, the worst property manager ever (whom I love).

Talking to realtors and looking around town makes it clear, everyone and their mother is in this business now days.

I have two elderly tenants, both of whom may need prolonged hospitalizations and/or nursing home placement this year.  

A lot of these homes in the neighborhood were part of the Annadale/Arden Heights Mother/Daughter conversions.

You need to find a niche of data where everyone else and their mother isn't sending.
