What about health & home insurance?

(Google online how to do that.)On the county's GIS, you can find out lots of information about the land...like the actual acreage, parcel shape, you can look for any recorded easements or environmental health permits, etc.   

I’ve researched early retirement abroad and Mexico comes up high in the lists for cost of living, quality and cost of health care, and acceptance of expats.

I will say that the demand for traveling health care professionals has been dwindling so I would check with the local hospitals etc to see if they are still using them before plunking down the hard cashola.So my personal take on mid term rentals vs short term rentals is either/or but not both.

While the tenant or owner does not need to disclose the disability, he or she will need to provide documentation from a doctor or other health professional.

The other tenant was in poor health and actually passed away while occupying the house.  

Seller has health issues and wants to unload some of his investments. 

It increases your SS for the rest of your life, so the goal should not be to avoid it....not a bad deal if your are in good health.

In CA, you are legally required to accept the first qualified applicant.The 2+1 rule will generally keep you in compliance in CAHUD is 2 per  bedroomThe federal health department is a bit more complicated.Last time I checked it was 70sqft for 2people and then 50sqft per additional person  (Do not count bathrooms and hallways)

Then if they are seeing that the roach problem is not going away due to the tenant not following through with their end of the bargain I give start giving lease violations for "effecting the health and safety" of other tenants because you are now making your problem their problem :) Hope that helps!
