The city does give elderly a tax value freeze once you get to a certain age, so that helps. 

and so yeah i had already been googling numbers before i respond to or contact potential buyers/sellers/renters from sites like craigslist and hotpads (after having been sent on wild goosechases by craigslist pranksters with apparently no life)come to think of it, its only a matter of time criminals can use this info accessible online by simply placing bogus ads on craigslist for whatever in order to generate a high call volume and arrange to meet those whose credit score/data collected and identified indicate they are wealthy - ie investors  looking for even more property, and/or agents looking for even more listings - and before u know it, the meeting turns into a hostage situation for ransom from family members, and/or being taken on an ATM withdrawals shopping spread with a gun to the head.likewise it could potentially be used to target minors by pedophiles and/or the elderly by home invaders, since age of the owner of the phone# is one of the things apparently readily available now online likely even for free.ok, ok, perish the thought. but credit (financial) data (however 'soft) just based on something as trivial as the cell phone number, and the ease of accessing such nfo for free or just a dollar (like at http://www.intelius.com/reverse-phone-lookup.html) is just setting up alot of wealthy consumers as victims to robbery, abduction for ranson, id theft, and/or murder .http://www.intelius.com/reverse-phone-lookup.html"Reverse Phone Reports include, if available: Owner NameAgeAddress Possible RelativesHistorical LocationsPhone CarrierSpecial Price with Intelius Premier Offer$0.95 Special Price"

I knew the property was available because the elder owner was being moved into a care facility.

The primary representative servicing these mortgages is elderly and no longer has the energy to keep up with payment collection. 

I'm not sure why my management company hasn't mentioned eviction but I also don't really care to evict an elderly lady who pays her rent even if she is a couple weeks late.

@James M Smith Fair Housing only protects certain classes of people (elderly, families with children, etc.).

A woman who my father met many years ago in Santa Barbara was invited by my father to help him take care of my elderly grandmother.  

If living, elders can be difficult to locate if in a senior facility due to health privacy laws.If deceased, owner be identified in Social Security Death Index, however this is nit always reliable.

But I also want to call some of the owners directly, because it's an older community and I am hoping to find an older or elderly person and offer them cash.

This current acquisition is with a seller whom I know fairly well as he was my neighbor, an elderly gentleman that simply wants to retire and cash out of the property after some family members of his completely trashed the place.
