That is, having enough money to flip the bird at the boss, walk off the job and start traveling the world.

Does anyone have experience buying small retail buildings perhaps 3 to 5 units that redeveloped into medical units?

I'm not an attorney so not sure if this guy can win with pre-existing medical problems.

RentalGuardian and CSA Travel Protection might also be of help. 

I am still considering investing in Michigan since my family lives there and I travel up there multiple times throughout the year.

I will travel to Durham that is about farthest west I go.

I actually spent most of my life in Bergen County and travel to NYC often, let me know if you have any questions about real estate in Philadelphia I'd be glad to answer them.

My wife had to travel for work and I'm on kid duty tonight.

I don't have any specific tenant that has requested it, but I also know that we get a lot of senior citizens travelling to the area and I thought it might we a way to differentiate the property and give more people access to a vacation property who may be in wheelchairs or worried about stairs. 

the saying goes, "the leopard doesn't change his spots"....so I tend to agree with the board, and my only caveat is that you really want to know will he pay the rent...I have had a few very good long term tenants who made rent a priority but still had the errant medical bill or consumer credit problem..so I would really probe every landlord and the rental history, but recency and amount of payment  issues tends to indicate that if he won't pay others, he probably won't pay you..a vacancy may be better..with an empty unit, remember an ideal tenant could call anytime..you may have to cover the mortgage another month, but you also cover it if he doesn't pay, plus evict, and re-prep the unit....vacancy wins unanimous decision...
