Even if you are in the senior most position, are you willing to, potentially, damage your relationship in case things go south for only $1,250? 

@Stevie DelacruzHey Stevie, I'm a senior in college studying electrical engineering. 

-My old client/boss at an organization I worked at for 5 years wants me to go back to work for him this fall as a Senior Manager/Lead Software Engineer (contract role).

The two things I am speaking it is 1) Not reaching my full potential by being lazy or settling in life. 2) I think everyone has a duty and obligation to themselves and their families to be the best spouse, parent, co-worker, employee, friend, citizen they can be...

I hope that this part makes sense.You are certainly in a unique area of the country and if the buying demand for seniors in this area is high then by all means you may find a buyer that will quickly want to purchase the home for all-cash or potentially bank financing.

If you are single, you could get a place and rent to peers or seniors, but if renting to seniors then proceed with caution.

I have a 2 bed 1 bath rental in Sun City California, Senior Community. 

The thing you need to watch out for with a large national firm is that your experience will only be as good as the sales rep assigned to you and many times these are not necessarily experienced senior consultants with longevity in the field.I'd focus more on experience and responsiveness than on location and you'll be fine.
