There are other assisted living programs which help seniors alter their homes (stair lifts, wheel chair ramps, etc) so they may remain in them longer.In Manitoba, you have Manitoba Housing which provides similar subsidized housing programmes (though, if I recall, MB Housing owns their own buildings ... some provinces - NB for one - no longer do that, but provide coupons to subsidize housing with private landlords).

I was in corporate for about 7 years and was completely miserable despite having a successful career in the eyes of someone who worked there.

Just budget for it.There is so much free information available, all it takes is your free time to scoop it up and incorporate it into your life plan.Also don't get entangled with someone who doesn't share your vision, or who doesn't give your vision credit when you explain it.

Either way this defiantly is not a business for arm chair investors.

I've seen 400-500 SqFt commercial condos (that would be great for a barbershop for maybe 2-3 chairs) going for $350k-400k.
