I would express our concern for their health and well being.

My dilemma is I don't just want to buy one property at an equal or greater value.

I hold a masters of science in accounting, and i have experience in the health care industry & Banking.

Because the home was owned by a single woman with health issues, the home is in disrepair but not abused, other than her dogs ruining the carpets.  

I’m a CPA with experience in tax preparation for real estate investment partnerships and am currently a property controller for a commercial real estate property management company specializing in the health care industry.

These are my dilemmas, I don't see anyone else jumping on these properties, even though they seem to me to be very good investments.

True wealth is the combination of health, happiness, $, love, etc. 

The plan is to buy the Cash-only REO using our LLC, fix the health and safety issues in this home (which will then make it financeable), and then purchase the house with my approved 150k residential loan.

Another aspect is here health and likelihood of ending up in a nursing home, that sale can come back in her determination of assets to qualify for benefits.

And abrasive as it may be to you...that's just common sense to most.I'm in emergency medicine...after paying for your health insurance....how would you like your doctor to get halfway through a procedure only to say....uh sorry that'll be another $xxxxx to show you how we finish this heart transplant...or is that his right too?
