"We have a nice relationship, but worst case they won’t live forever and if it’s how I’ll get my dream home we will make it work."
The way to your very own forever house, may be a move or two, saving more money and even then , there is rarely "forever" anymore.
It will only seem like forever.............at some point.
When will that be?
It will depend. Perhaps when YOU are forty, fifty, or when you are sixty, or more.
A client of mine built in the early 2000 decade.
Kids were 99% plus on the way to out for good, but for a short time it served three generations ages 22 - 79
Grandma was very spry, had a lovely apartment in the lower walk out.. Came and went, played bridge, had her own friends in! Truly Wonderful! Until.....not so much.
As she began to slide further into old age as we ALL do, she had some health issues, became fearful. My clients, despite loving her well beyond dearly, found their freedom limited.
That was the very good part. From there and when my clients wanted to downsize, and did in fact do that? Began the five year horror story of you. simply. can. not. yet. comprehend. at . your. age.
You may think I made it up. No. Here's a video. I'm going to leave this comment for one half day, and then delete. Watch until it goes to lower level, see what grandma had, all to herself..........and then re read. No, it's not your farmhouse: ) matters not.
