but they often know the clients personal and financial status and they (the health care professionals) hob knob with the lawyers that are handling the wills and estates...

I'd love to get going with something, most likely outside CA (I don't think I can afford / finance anything here) as soon as possible.

I would express our concern for their health and well being.

Now they are looking at mobile homes since they are more affordable but banks don't like to lend on those either in most cases unless they are very new and in a certain condition.Right now, I've got three homes - 2 are marketed and one is getting fixed up.

I see the day coming when you can't afford to manage a small portfolio of rental properties.The tough part for me has been getting maintenance done for little stuff.

Divorce, neither could afford it on our own, bought at the top of the market, couldn't sell.     

I hold a masters of science in accounting, and i have experience in the health care industry & Banking.

Because the home was owned by a single woman with health issues, the home is in disrepair but not abused, other than her dogs ruining the carpets.  

Then there are a handful of affordable properties but I would be paying half the mortgage and thats not what im looking for as of right now. 

I have talked to enough sellers who said they tried to list their house and the agent wanted them to make too many repairs that they could not afford.
