And of course I made modifications to better suit my wishes, but I left in opportunity to cure, re-inspection criteria, and that landlord will allow for reasonable accommodations (think of visually impaired tenant being unable to see or elderly tenant being unable to perform certain actions).

I think the ADU will add decent equity to the property since everyone seems to be looking for space for elderly parents or just a separate area to work and/or play.

Sam Elder - did you invest in Aspen Funds?

ALSO, for "Mom", Nothing unusual here, IF the Husband and Wife ACTUALLY have verifiable income and other issues checked out ok, they will be the primary parties and are likely helping out an elderly parent that perhaps lost a husband to divorce or death and is not able to support herself at this stage of life.

But there few spots with elderly owners trying to get out you may have luck even to get afordable owner financing if you stay and search long enough.This might be my next location in near future.

While looking at the building, a elderly woman appeared out of the basement door. 

Hello, everyoneI got a call from an elderly lady about a month ago from my direct mail marketing campaign.

I found a great deal with a unique situation and wanted to get your opinions and ideas on how to proceed.The owner is very elderly and states that she would like to sell her home, but she wants to live there until she dies. 

However, my elderly parents are in desperate need of saving their property. 

Apparently the elderly woman that had owned the house passed away and left it to her four daughters.
