My why is my health, specifically being in a wheelchair.  

My hubby works full time and I'm wheelchair bound, so I thought that managing a large rental portfolio was unrealistic, but we were doing ok with 3 houses.  

Hubby and I have had our eye on a property that is in our ideal location for our retirement, but is unsuitable for me to live in because of my wheelchair.  

My reluctance had more to do with the practicality of buying and managing rental properties (hubby has full-time W2 and travels and I am in a wheelchair and generally can't get into most houses).  

Being in a wheelchair makes being an actual real estate agent hard, somid like to get in to the mortgage buisness.

They're gonna be in wheelchairs at the local nursing home by the time its paid off.

http://tra...The long story short, they have homes, and renovate it with things that cater towards elderly people by putting in ramps, outfitting showers with handles and holds, wheelchair lift, etc.They have like 3-4 bedrooms, and rent them out by room, one to two people per room.

View the animal as a wheelchair or cane.

@David Soest Just to clarify, those that are disabled, are not strictly limited to people in wheelchairs. 

If he later says he needs handrails, grab bars, wheelchair ramp, etc., then you should make those accommodations or allow him to make them at his cost.
