Thanks in advance for entertaining what to many may seem like a stupid question :)Patrick

Some properties even specify conventional and cash only, and do not entertain FHA on the get go.I bought around December, and closed just a few days ago.

I have entertained the idea of buying a multi-family residence (duplex-triplex) but the down side for us would be having to share walls with tenants.

Luckily, there's still a lot in Hagerstown as far as attractions and entertainment.

Here is a summary of what I have gleaned:Building Attributes: one level, ground floor, elevator in multistory buildings, no steps, universal design, wider doorways, smooth floor coverings without throw rugs, chair height toilets, hand rails, grab bars, bathroom near bedroom, laundry in unit or close by, good lighting, less square footage to take care of but enough to comfortably move around and to entertain visitors, close to bus stops, close to medical facilities, close to activities that interest seniors, garden, front porches, backyard patios/decks, quiet, warm, safe.Landlord Attributes: respectful, attentive, face-to-face communication, willing to adjust speaking speed and volume as needed, willing to do things for tenants to keep them off ladders and step stools (change light bulbs, hang pictures, etc.), willing to adjust policies and procedures to accommodate needs (alternative ways to pay rent, use of telephone instead of texting, etc), genuine interest in seniors' wisdom and legacy, willing to check in on the safety and well being of residents, willing to assume responsibility for yard work, snow removal, and keeping outside pathways clear of debris, willing to help tenants connect with community services as the need arises (cleaning help, food prep programs, senior services, etc.), service oriented.

Myself as a seller if an agent is over the top tough I just wont accept the offer and will move on to another buyer that has an agent that is easier to work with.. nothing says I have to entertain any offer from any broker. 

., Nest Thermostat (buy the cheaper one, it works the same for what we do, lock out, temp swings, etc), Nest Cam's (just installed), Google WIFI mesh routers, and Google Home entertainment. 

We did entertain the house hacking idea, just wasn't our 1st option.

I can't afford to pay for the geopolitical entertainment of the millionaires in Washington D.

after reading numerous and informative reviews, I entertained the interview call.
