The only silver lining is that with less home maintenance yo attend to his health is improving - he's 53.

You could be responsible for moving them if you failed to provide a safe, sanitary, healthy living space as you had promised by leasing.

Maintained a long and healthy employment status.

In reality, in areas of historical high demand, that demand continues for many reasons (healthy local economy with a broad based job market, natural beauty, good schools, medical care, etc.) with demand comes higher prices.

My concern is if you're trying to buy and hold if there's enough cash flow to pay everything and still make a healthy profit.

It is not nothing to provide people with decent affordable housing that is safe and healthy for them and their families.

Most observers would consider this a "healthy' real estate market.  

Saint Louis is nearby which tells me that you can target a healthy amount of renters that work downtown.

I have two parents whose health is declining.

It's still a very healthy market, but not growing quite as fast as the past couple of years.
