I have an investor who got a tax lien property and now is trying to unload it.

So I believe you will have a hard time unloading them in traditional note investing circles.Maybe market to people with SDIRAs.

Not saying it's true in this case, but often that means lines of credit at lumber yards, lowes, home depot.  30 or 60 day pay schedules. 

Homes are fixed assets and are harder to unload. 

I'm going to be a bit of a contrarian to the above posters, but let me first qualify my post by stating that your market will determine what you should do.We frequently install en-suite laundry in our units - in fact, we have removed common coin-op laundry in most buildings of 6-units or less in favour of en-suite laundry - for the following reasons:electricity and, in most cases, hot water costs are transferred to the tenant;where water is sub-metered, water costs are transferred to the tenant;high-efficency residential laundry machines are about half the capital costs of commercial coin-operated machines;we can command $30 - $50/month in additional rent with en-suite laundry;by installing our own machines, we know they are installed property, with catch/drain pans and {going forward} leak detect shutoffs; andwith en-suite laundry vandalism of laundry machines has been non-existant ... and if a machine is damaged, we know who is responsible.We have a good rapport with a couple of local appliance suppliers and get called whenever they have "dinged and scratched" units to unload ... a small, cosmetic dent in the side of a washer - which will never be seen when it is installed in a laundry closet - can be worth a 40 - 50% discount.  

OR  seller just wanted to unload and told the broker to list it low and they did not care what happens...

These mfrs use #1 and #2 grade framing lumber to build floors/walls/ceilings in jigs that yield panels with very tight dimensional tolerances.

I have been at this game since I was 23, always have been a buy and hold investor, I have only sold 1 investment property thus far....But I agree with your process at age 60 sounds like a great time to unload and truly have passive income....Have a look at some high quality REITS as well like O, DLT, and VTR as well as utility stocks that throw off nice dividend yields on a monthly and quarterly basis.

I am concerned that he may have been in the lumber yard and attempted to leave with more then her purchased.

She purchased the townhome from a landlord who just wanted to unload it himself.
