But I’m not sure about living there for a year (this would be my property only, not a joint one between us).

Assuming that the couple files a joint tax return.

By contrast, many legitimate, licensed health care professionals deliver services remotely, including over the internet.

I am just now, finally getting back to health, and buying properties and renting them to grow my future.

If the landlord is doing something shady then there should be other easier avenues to pursue (health and safety violations) and you could tack this on to make your case.

@Katie Panzica, owner financing would probably be your best bet, but has some drawbacks.  20% down or more, higher interest rate & the property MIGHT be over-priced.If that is not an option, have you tried to see if you have like-minded ppl in your family that would consider a joint venture?

If they are living like it is a slum, you can evict for health & safety violations.

The seller told me she has an attached to the property because she raised your family there but her husband has some health issues so she doesn’t have the time to take care of her husband and some others properties at the same time so that’s why she is selling.  

Certainly the health “experts” are all wrong left and right about the covid mania and suspect same about the real estate “experts” quoted in this article.

Tenant is fully aware of my concerns with the property (HVAC and Windows) and is satisfied with the overall health of the Condo.
