By no means should this be interpreted as an anti-BRRRR post.  

Good morning BP,I'm from a small town in Eastern KY and I'm starting my journey into the world of REI at the ripe old age of 46.

As you age out most folks start to pay down debt and want their properties free and clear. 

Unfortunately, on a property this age you don't anticipate it. 

I mainly bought it so that my parents can have less to manage and go to at a resort- less steps, maintenance as they age etc.

age of the homes makes a difference.. 

CT requires an Architect (or Engineer) for projects of this nature, especially a building of this age where it's likely there's structural/framing items to address.

I love when aged posts get resurfaced with a recent update sometimes! 

You don't need an inspection to know the age of a roof.

I agree with you to put a clause in for the specific tenants, I wouldn't make it mutual, I would make it at the landlord's discretion, and require a background check submitted for any occupants over 18 years of age.5.
