Have a great day and much health and wealth to you and yours!

Must be some mental health issues at play in the condition she lives in.

I had planned to use the rental income to help cover health insurance costs until we reach Medicare age (5 years for wife, 10 years for me). 

I never invoked it because they leased together and it wasn't to my standard but it wasn' t a health hazard. 

The project definitely scares me, I have done 2 houses ( now rentals) so far.

This scares off a lot of people so be aware Just need to shop around for a great contractor and ask for referrals to not get screwed over Mold Try to figure out where it is coming from so when you get the property you can eliminate it Mold comes from accumulated moisture Be careful about mold in the basement, there may be a leak in the foundation Compartmentalized configuration By removing a wall to open up the kitchen it usually makes it more appealing Landscaping If the yard looks horrendous, there is a lot of opportunities there JUNK Lots of junk discourage a lot of buyers when it's pretty easy to clear outThree Problems I Avoid When Shopping for a Rental Property Neighborhood Don’t buy in class D areas.

Don't be scared to look at Multi family. 

Now that I have your attention DONT RUN NOW!  
So I heard about Sub To and I understood it. This makes so much sense!  It makes so much sense that....it isnt a popular topic on Bigger Pockets?  WTF?  Sure a few posts...

Dont let folks on the interwebz scare you off of doing the due diligence.

It is the same as with our health - if we stop smoking now, we increase our long-term health potential.
