They have allowed themselves to become upside down with the elderly to young ratio.

I respect my elders and their advice, however, make sure that the advice you decide to follow fits with your current economic environment and not your parents' or grandparents.

I suggest you not go 30  years with a note going to an estate, your high school buddy may very well look you up with an unpleasant attitude messing up his parent's estate in their elder years, but check with an attorney familiar with estate requirements.......you can also address such issues with a conditional demand feature, if this happens then they can demand full payment in 6 months for example.

Hi @Sam Elder I like where you're heads at.  

The owner is a family member of a good friend, and the owner pulled some underhanded stuff to get possession of the house after my friends father passed away (it wasn't the fathers house, he sold his to move in with and take care of his elderly mother).

I talked to the owner who was an elderly gentlemen that couldn't keep up with repairs and was willing to talk to me about purchasing his building. 

Hello all,I have a unique situation.I have been renting from the landlord for 5 plus years now and the reason I have not purchased my own place is simply my landlord is very elderly and knows he can rely on me to take care of his investment. 

I used public records to figure out the owners are an elderly couple living in Georgia.

From, The One Thing by Gary Keller:"One evening an elder Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.  

Its not to say it has not been a success, however, I do not think it has been excellent, their has to be more and better portfolio lenders that someone on BP can define.Please share your experiences and gain better insight into the deeper operations of the elders denied, by triangulating as much data and information the BO community has.
