@Brad Patterson I want to give you some food for thought.

food all free was off the charts good.people have all sorts of amenities who work there you would never have to buy food  at least during the week breakfast lunch dinner snacks.. its also like a nice resort and spa... what a place.

Amongst friends and living in a community with more personal space, diverse economy, access to travel (roads / airports) and strong local culture (food / entertainment / socialization).

Notes done right do not have expenses in 20 years you will need to replace all major systems in that rental to have any value.just food for thought..  

If you are up for slight delayed gratification and want to invest safely, especially at a  current market high, I believe my way will always win :-)Just a food for thought.  

Just basic things like a truck, fuel, food, hotel going to add up...

forget about real estate all together use your 100k and buy a business that you can run and make 30 to 75k a year in.a food cart  coffee cart any number of small business that you can purchase for 100k.. you will do something for income and you will make far more money being your own boss than any rental will Ever bring you.

*****I DONT THINK SO - MEDICAID Is going to ask where the house went - maybe they dont catch it right away but they will - *** family didnt appear to do any estate planning - they will need to spend that money on her careThe way I can put it if the family is wanting to get out of paying - and they think spending $3-6k or whatever amount is needed for her care is too much then they need to factor in 24/7 care at $12/hr + 15% for taxes, food, utilities, rent, insurance, outside upkeep, maintenance etc and add that up for a month and they will see what a bargain ALF can be

Just food for thought.Good luck, and thank you for your service to our country!

Houseflies can lay eggs on food sitting out or even in the drain of a sink, when the maggots hatch you'll have a swarm of flies on your window.
