with small tasks - I want to keep guest rooms
- live with less barriers available
- live in a more modern home - I want to avoid hassle
- have better infrastructure, be - I do not want to have other
closer to the city centre people in the house / I do not
trust tenants
I might not like to… - I do not know how to proceed
