In extreme cases they are tricking and deceiving.I am all about buyer beware, but I have also seen elderly relatives taken advantage of and I don't have much respect for the slime balls that do that kind of stuff.There are many honest wholesalers, but unfortunately the industry as a whole lacks oversight from a legal or ethical standpoint.

The relative in CA is elderly, and I've been told has a hard time getting around.What's the best way to deal with multiple owners, who are scattered all over the country?

However, being a property manager of low income housing for the elderly and disable I meet low income elderly renters and people with all kinds of disabilities needing affordable food and shelter to include medical assistance.Property management is difficult in normal circumstances.  

I just wanted to add, although your attorney may have already told you, that most states, I believe MA is one of them, have laws against "elderly abuse" where someone has taken financial, emotional or physical advantage of an elderly person. 

Because he was not allowed to be at the house banned from HOA and on probation for the felony charge for assault on his elderly neighbor so he couldn't go over there and pack.

@Brandon TurnerI just remembered that one of our previous tenants runs a similar home for State mandated assisted living elderly.

He said it's been vacant for around a year, the elderly couple passed away.

The laws that will apply are very state-specific, and what Bryan is telling you may be true in Tennessee and nowhere close to true in California.You don't say, but often when people speak of elderly and disabled as distinct interest groups within a housing context, it is because the complex was built and/or acquired with help from some government program or other.Some people think that tenants in these forms of subsidized housing are leaching.

I am in NYC, have an elderly tenant that should be in a nursing home but refuses to go.  

I had an elderly woman pass away last year and her granddaughter called to let us know she would come pick everything up and clean the place.
