To make matters worse, I promised the 70+ yr old widow tenant that she would not be forced to move once I took over the property (Awesome tenants who takes really good care of the unit).

One is a widow with a paid for house who has lived there for decades. 

Generally widow replacement has a long term pay back unless the existing windows are extremely drafty.

To make a long story short, I ended up buying a HUD foreclosure for a widowed friend and her 8 year old son to live in while they got their lives together.I now have a house I have no need for.

I am working on a deal where a widow is selling off their rental portfolio.  

I had a buyer get into a house because the lady selling it was the widow of my clients old bus driver.

@Mark PedrozaHelloWell just to tell you thatvthe whole probate process got in our favor, the descendent family, whwre fighting in court in front of the judge, and the widow said that she did not approve their manners.So the judge apointed to me and said, "you have 30 days ro find your Financing and close on this property, if you can't, then move out."

The only exemptions allowed on commercial property are; Veteran and Widow of Veteran.

However, if you understand REI, you can level your REI playing field.The first houses I got were sold with tenants in place by a widow (from the Red Hat Society).
