Hello all,I have a unique situation.I have been renting from the landlord for 5 plus years now and the reason I have not purchased my own place is simply my landlord is very elderly and knows he can rely on me to take care of his investment. 

I used public records to figure out the owners are an elderly couple living in Georgia.

From, The One Thing by Gary Keller:"One evening an elder Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.  

Its not to say it has not been a success, however, I do not think it has been excellent, their has to be more and better portfolio lenders that someone on BP can define.Please share your experiences and gain better insight into the deeper operations of the elders denied, by triangulating as much data and information the BO community has.

If it were me, out of respect for my elders, I'd probably go along with it.

In my area one bedrooms are very hard to rent, and my #1 pick for a tenant would be an elderly lady who is likely to stay until she can't live on her own anymore.  

Search Elder Law. 

I buy in top-notch school districts where elderly people have now gone to assisted-living. 

I tell little girls just how adorable they are; I hold the door for my elders, & always let them go ahead of me (even when they take their time); & I stop to let cars out in traffic, allow people the right of way in crosswalks, & politely wave when everyone else beeps at me in appreciation ;0)To say the least some of my ways are a bone of contention for most of my Mass friends that explain to me (over, & over, & over) that my "friendliness" gives off the wrong impression ;0).

My CoC ROI is a little over 9%.My lender seems to think that the unit is a little undervalued (elderly widow seller- wants to get out and travel), and that I may be able to cash-out refi in 6-12 months, recouping my initial investment.
