Sometimes sellers are not fully available due to travel, habits (drugs and alcohol) and emotional issues that may have contributed to the reason they're in the situation they're in, in the the first place.

Then, I realize I was more in control of the situation than I thought, at which point I can focus on problem solving (which is in my control) as opposed to blame (which isn't).Though I like some of the other responses as well -- especially music and alcohol... :-)

The buyer I have has been doing this since 1992.They have about 300 properties over multiple states currently.They have websites and from my research they house disabled veterans making a transition back into life from war or getting on their feet again.They do not allow drugs or alcohol and the typical period of the stay is 2 to 24 months at a time.Apparently this buyer can offer me more renting out per room to the veteran then what I currently get which is 850 a unit.Since he can achieve higher rents per room I get a great profit as his NOI is much higher even paying me a higher price.I will let you know how it goes.They are work with veterans and no other groups of disabled people or boarding etc.Mentioned something to me about they would have to repair the units to VA standards and then they receive money.

My wife and I are 25 in great health, no tobacco, no alcohol, and our annual premium was running $1,800 for a bare bones catastrophe plan with a $10,000 deductible.Like Rob K mentioned there are many ways to negotiate and work around healthcare cost.
