They asked me to brainstorm options about their home, but they're going about it wrong.
My good friends want to downsize for retirement, but the major repairs needed on their house will prevent them from making enough on the sale to buy their next place.
I’m deeply concerned that they will end up struggling to rent the unit if it appears unsafe, plus losing money on the ultimate sale – and it will all be because of my suggestion. They haven’t asked for my opinion again, and they are very excited about the whole thing. If they don’t follow safety guidelines, they might have a bigger problem on their hands than creating an unappealing rental unit. The rental unit needs to be safe for occupancy. Doing things “right” now will also avoid repair problems later, and will increase the overall value of their property.
The following summer, I invited the new family along with three other neighboring families over for a cookout. Everything went well. It was a fun evening. One of the other families that I invited was also new. A and B live across the street from me, next door to each other.
