I have 2 dogs and care for my elderly mother with dementia. 

The current owner has the entire building set up through HUD for the elderly and disabled and I am looking to continue that model. 

Separate REITs are available for apartment buildings, shopping malls, office buildings, elderly care, etc.On the flip side, with real estate syndications, you invest in a single property in a single market.

We rented to an elderly couple, who moved in there grandaughter and grandkids!

Ultimately I know the decision is mine, and there is risk whenever placing a tenant but let me know what you think.Application 1: Family (Husband, Wife, young son, elderly mother) - Wife credit score 640ish, husband is 585.

A significant number of those are scams but the problem is it's very difficult to prove it's a scam.Therapy dogs - those are dogs trained to comfort elderly or terminally ill people at hospices, hospital, nursing homes, those are not specifically linked to an owner and are not protected by reasonable accommodation.Working dogs - those are police K9, trained to sniff bombs, track and retrieve, guard etc...and also are not protected by reasonable accommodation.Technically, IMO, you can't say they lied by not disclosing their pet or dog because they can say they don't think of it as a pet or regular dog, it's an ESA. 

You may be a natural when it comes to talking to people so go volunteer at a local old peoples' home and speak to the elders there and become someone they enjoy talking to.

It's an older neighborhood with a mix of blue collar workers, middle class families, and elderly owners.

For example, I buy a house near me for my elderly father to live in rent free.  

The deals aren't on MLS - they are through:people who are downsizingpeople who are selling their elderly parent's home and moving them into a nursing homelandlords with nightmare tenants that just want outHave you been driving for dollars?
