Advice on Wholetailing Deal Structure

      I have my first, legitimately strong lead after months of driving for dollars and I'm seeking ideas on how to structure an offer. There isn't a lot of value-add opportunity, but the seller is motivated. I'll try to be concise.

      • ARV = 235K
      • As is value = 225K
      • Rehab needed < 10K (mostly yardwork)
      • Seller's motivation:
        • Seller is 90 years old
        • Fell ill over a year ago
        • Moved into senior care facility, but kept utilities on thinking she'd eventually move back. Now knows this won't ever happen. 
        • Property is structurally solid, built in 1980. Hasn't been updated much, but is an eyesore from complete lack of yard care
        • Has lots of stuff inside she can't deal with
        • Would really like funds to offset some cost of her senior facility
        • Owns house free and clear
      • Would rent for approx 1,500/m once fixed up
      • I'd rather wholetail it, though.

      This is just screaming seller finance to me. 

      I want to offer her something like 155K, OWC, 20% down, 5.5% interest for 15 years. That'd get her about $950/m in income on top of 30K down without having to manage tenants. I'll offer to include the cost of moving her stuff (ave cost local move is 2,300) to a storage facility of her choice in town. 

      I'd be able to rent it and cash flow if I wanted to, but I'd rather wholetail it. If I can get it for 155K on an as is value of 225K, that seems like it would work out to about $40K at the end. Average days on market is about 75 days in the area.

      What do all you seasoned experts think? What am I missing? Ways to make an offer really stand out?
