What happened, some rule maker felt he sold his property too cheaply and so promoted this BS.

You're promoting turn-key properties to your buyers.

About how old is he, any health issues, how's his financial position roughly?

To me it seems like best is in the eye of the promoter for their intended purpose for the raise.

I'll talk about a deal or method I use or make comments, but never are any intended to brag about myself, I know it sounds that way at times (making a shorter comment to type, usually) but I really dislike self promotion.....personally.You probably won't ever see any real educator pushing thier Principles of Real Estate text books, or in any other subject.

I do want my business to promote the community, so I especially like your business plan!

Being part of the remodeling industry, I tend to feel that if a contractor offers free estimates, perhaps they are going through a promotion or simply put, they are lacking jobs.

They're older and not in the best of health, so the intention was they could stay here the rest of their lives.

I am working on an article to compare different markets.As far as "becoming familiar with the rental market", I don't know if you mean the health of the rental market, the neighborhoods, or talking to property managers.

Market value anywhere between 250 and 300KWe need to move due to health issues of my daughter.I'm approved for a VA loan for 250K and can find quite a bit of house around the area for that price.My dilemma is that in order to sale my current house I really need to make some improvements.
