But, that's a ridiculous attitude.For example, do you think this author would borrow money to ensure his/her children had food and sufficient medical care.

There lifestyle, interests, and hobbies have become an even greater factor as I have gone further.One thing that I usually look past is medical debt but if it is a lower debt and they just appeared to ignore it that is not a good sign either.

Has anyone here had experience with a deal like this.Home is owned free of debt.Owner of home is in their later 80's, has numerous medical issues and is admitted to nursing home.Son and Daughter with power of attorney wish to dispose of home on death of owner (their parent).All siblings are in agreement and wish to dispose of home upon parents death.Per Son, home is homestead and cannot be taken by state to pay for medical care (not sure if this is true, will have to check with an attorney).Per Son, all medical care for parent (property owner) will be paid by him as incurred.One parent has already passed, once this parent entered nursing home, home became vacant.Son states that they are allowed to lease home until parent passes but cannot profit from the lease.Home is being offered under a 'maintenance lease' - lease being for no more than cost of maintenance on home.Lease would stipulate that any maintenance costs incurred during the lease would be charged to tenant.Upon death of parent, lease holder would be given first right of refusal to buy property at price that had been agreed upon when lease was initiated.Now the questions.Has anyone ever heard of this (this is in TX).I can see several issues:What if siblings borrow on the property?

this may not be the deal for them.)4) For low hanging fruit, (easier success rate) 99% of all private lenders fall into 3 categories, business owners, professional licenses holders, (like doctors, lawyers, etc..) real estate professionals.All three have something in common, they think differently than your average wage earner.

Investors views on things can change with how much someone makes a year and net worth with liquidity.Example a doctor bringing in 700,000 a year income might take 5% return that is passive with tax benefits all day long.Conversely an investor that is younger in age making 50k a year and trying to quit that J-O-B might be looking to maximize cash flow today and might care less about tax savings or equity growth way down the road.
