Be super careful if you aren’t able to make these mortgage payments out of pocket if no rent comes in or a large capex expense “suddenly” comes up. 

I am VERY interested in Adult Foster Care/AFC.

First off, well done taking care of your folks.

Why do you care they have a visitor? 

All the people I grew up and was around while there did not care about Solar.Unless it will help replace your utilities bill, like I stated above, I don't believe you are in a market that values having solar enough to increase your house's value.

I want to rent it to the licensed personal care home or assisted living. 

With careful planning and management, this could be a viable path to financial security and building wealth.Best of luck with your investment, and feel free to reach out to the community for more advice or support as you move forward!

Does anyone have experience with this process and care to share how much of a lift (or decline) they saw after making the switch?

You have to be careful because there are so many "experts".

Contractors don't really care if you are collecting $2,000/mo in rent or $500/mo in rent.
