Hi Erin, I have been a landlord for a while now (15+ years) and I have only had one tenant (out of hundreds) ask for a 5 year lease and that was when I allowed one of my SF rentals to be turned into a group home for the elderly.

Last Thursday I met with an elderly couple who had a recently disabled son.

Elderly are contrary at times, some often feel that laying down some type of guideline is a way of maintaining control of their money.

If they guy is ill or elderly, they can be more agreeable. :)

One of my biggest title issues came out of a seller receiving a QCD from an elderly lady as it's use brought into question the relationship, which lead to indications of fraud which had to be addressed and rights in title.Certainly not something to chase down on a wide scale. :)

However, stating that a unit is great for <families, immigrants, elderly, Christians, whites, etc.

Sounds you're looking for owner financing, and the agents are probably justifiably leary of this, especially with a sick elderly client.

The house is in SC, and it is an elderly couple, so lack of air conditioning can be a serious issue.

The fact he is elderly and looking to get out of the business has me thinking i need to really work this.Send was a woman who was looking to sell since her husband just got out of the hospital and she doesn't want to have to manage the property.

This is why I like BP - I don't want my emotions getting to involved, so it's nice to have others share.As for "why" - she says she wants to get out of the state, moving to Colorado, to take care of her elderly mother.
