We were just checking out the downtown area around Mother's and SBC last weekend.

We furnish both and rent all utilities included for 3-6 months to traveling nurses, new Denverites, business people, etc.

What happens if a previous owner's mother lived in the building and special accommodations were made for her ( a chair life perhaps) that became unnecessary when I bought the building and I chose to no longer maintain and a long term tenant now needs such a device?

I have a childhood friend whose mother has a house that she is willing to sell me I'm not sure  which direction  I should approach the situation.  

Call the cops, call the tenant's mother, just don't call me.  

I am a nurse changing careers, so I do not know how the relationship broker-sales assoc. really works.

We were told by the city manager that if it had been a mother in law suite there would not have been fees, but the city planner says he's wrong, and that it doesn't matter.

I was born in Duarte, grew up living in Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, South San Gabriel, West Covina, and then Long Beach.My grandmother bought a 2/1 bath in Santa Fe Springs back in 1979 for $73,000 that she rented to my Mom, then later sold.When I left California, I was living in a mother in law house rented at $85/month off of 9th & Orange in Long Beach (it was a deal then, even if there were gunshots going off in the alley behind the house).When I moved to Denver in 1992 (after working as Hunting Department Manager at the now closed Turner's Outdoorsman that was on Hawthorne and 164th during the L.A.

I feel like I'm missing something big here so I'd like to present it to the BP community for thoughts....I have a good friend (trustworthy and afraid of bad karma) whose mother owns a few properties in San Jose, CA area. 

We still have both hospitals which employ a ton of people as well as Bradley University and the medical / nursing students so I think rental market is still good.I buy distressed properties and put in sweat equity to bring them up to par.
