Take a hard pass.

I just don't want to be in a situation where I was not able to maximize the deal, where the seller and buyer potentially makes 50k in profit each, whereas I only get $500, because my initial offer was 'too good to pass up'.

Some have retainer agreements with attorneys who specialize in evictions to pass on savings to the property owner.

The other aspect is identifying what I call "Ugly Inventory" so that you find homes that can still pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" so that you can do some TLC with repairs/renovations to borrow off of the ARV.

If the plan is for them to live in the house until they are no longer able (either they pass away or move to a nursing home), then it may be that you and your husband are paying for all of the repairs and things like replacing the roof...or maybe they will treat it as their own home and simply give you the money each month to cover all of the expenses.I'd be concerned if he has siblings to make it clear that the house is yours (though with the in-laws paying for everything the siblings may see it differently) and what happens if you divorce?

I don't agree with the fee comment - certainly that can be an element of a scammy lender but there are certainly lenders that do require some upfront fees and other vendor/pass-through fees in addition to the appraisal. 

I don't think it is new, the law passed in 2019. 

Yes you can you need to pass both tests. 7 days or less and the material participation test which I have outlined above 

Or does appfolio use someone like twilio to provide the service and pass on costs to the PM?
