He's a self-employed handyman and I am rather concerned he won't be able to make rent for long with no income.Maybe he can cover this month's rent, but I'm guessing he's about to be unemployed and crushed with medical bills.He knows he has a big rent hike coming, so we've briefly discussed an exit strategy (before he got sick).

Oh yea, I am 60 years old and I found BP about a year ago wile recovering from a medical thing.Do not try to do everything yourself.

Developing skills on finding deals and understanding the numbers.

Your assessing skills would shine too!
