When we had to move my grandma from her apartment to a skilled nursing facility a few years ago, I investigated this.  

The owner inherited it from his mother who recently passed away.

Me and my girlfriend are currently living in a house that her mother owns but apparently it's in pre-foreclosure.

I bought a home in Seattle 2 years ago and have been squeezing every penny out if it with a mother in law and renting out a room on the main floor. 

He was released from the hospital in the middle of November and had to move in with his mother because he needed someone living with him who could tend to him -- and the doctors said this would be a concern for months, maybe years. 

His mother has lived in the next door multi-family property... which I do not own.

I don't know this for a fact, but my mother told me that banks sell there junk Homes at Auction. 

In addition, any time you spend living in a care facility (such as a nursing home) counts toward your residence requirement, so long as the facility has a license from a state or other political entity to care for people with your condition.Eligibility Step 4 - Look-BackDetermine whether you meet the look-back requirement.

The flame was just recently reignited and I'm fighting the urge to over analyze everything daily and I have to say that BP has played an incredible role in my action thus far and for that my future success will be forever indebted to both Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner and the countless other seasoned investors imparting all their experiences with us.My REI goals are to focus initially on building my wholesaling business and build an incredible marketing system that allows me to do 1 to 2 deals a month until I can save and reinvest enough capital to be able to turn my strategies to fix and flips and ultimately build an incredible RE portfolio that brings in enough cash flow every month that will replace my income for my full time job so that I could focus that 240hrs/month on my REI business and to continue in my pursuit in attaining my Doctorate in Nursing.
