The federal government and state of Colorado have numerous rules and laws to protect tenants and home buyers from being discriminated against.Here's a description of the Fair Housing Act from HUD's website: "...as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability."

To @Bill Brandt, unfortunately the reason they are moving out is because it was a fairly large family when they moved in and needed the space, but both parents had to move out to assisted living and the children grew up and moved out, so house is too big now for the renter.

They had 2 adult children living at home and not helping out.

It really highlights for me a couple things:1) There WILL be hiccups and bumps along the way, handling them, learning from them and using that knowledge to apply to future deals to whats important. 2) You didn't become discouraged after the first property, you forged on and continued with your plan despite the setbacks.Thanks for sharing, your story is inspiring!

Thank you BiggerPockets for the education and motivation necessary to inspire me to invest!

And my friends who have small children would similarly veto a place that didn't have a tub.

The park was built in the '50s and we bought it from the 80-year-old children of the original owners.

The stories were very inspiring, and told me that it is possible.

Trump just spoke in Anchorage at JBER more or less like this and I felt inspired)

I have no idea why anyone would go backwards.So for environmentally conscious, financially constrained, singles or couples with no children, who like to move around and who are willing to live without running water and sewers it is a legitimate choice.
