This means a lot of units are sitting, and we're seeing a lot of price reductions, lower offers being accepted, sellers willing to help cover buyer closing costs, etc. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business. 

I'm not confident that a seller financing offer will be accepted enough to be really understood without some preparation. 

Thankfully the widow had a 125k mortgage and simply couldn’t accept.

Become a syndication Co-GP by lending the escrow funds for the true GP where you receive 1% of the GP share of project upside, then create website and social media marketing materials where you hold yourself out as THE GP for the syndication.5.

@Chris Seveney Thank you for your comment, the Seller offered cash for keys (don't know the amount) but the tenant hasn't been willing to accept anything.

It will either guide many to check the stats for themselves or to accept the overarching idea.

Will this affect her survivors benefits social security income? 

And the reasons is not so much the tenants, but the paperwork hassles.As a landlord who accepts HUD vouchers (Section 8), you still have the right to set your own tenant criteria.
