Political discussion is prohibited in the forums and while I realize it is difficult to discuss policies that are enacted/enforced/overturned by politicians, you are limited to discussing the policies themselves and not the worth/worthlessness of those involved in crafting/overturning the policies.

If it doesn’t get overturned, I would take the housing authority to court.   

A DIL in this situation could be deemed as unjust enrichment and overturned if an attorney gets involved or if there are any other junior interests.  

The lender originally won the case, but the homeowner appealed it and it was found that the homeowner was correct and the judge over-turned it.

If you sign a separate agreement outside of escrow, but use the house as collateral, it will be overturned by any judge and then you have an unsecured promissory note.

If I do this repeatedly it could be overturned and I could be classified as a dealer as it appears those houses were really inventory and I did not plan to hold them long term as an investment because at that point I'm makng more money on the sale.

I'm new to the investing side, so I am speaking as a business person here.Greg is right about any family coming in to overturn the deal, be sure you understand who will swoop in after her death and try to get the property and your deal overturned.If you are in no hurry to get into the property, then maybe you can structure the sale in one of the following ways: (1) possibly a sale at a fair negotiated price, with a leaseback provision, (2) sale at a fair negotiated price, where she carries the financing so you pay her a monthly installment and she can afford the assisted living facility, or (3) have an attorney create an agreement of sale that you and she negotiated a price and if that agreed upon price is at least, say 80% of FMV on the date of death, her heirs must honor the agreement and sell to you at that price, or give you a first right of refusal to purchase the property for say 80%, of FMV on date of death. 

I heard there was some talk about getting rid of Prop 13 or overturning it...but I doubt that would happen.I imagine home prices would go down a LOT in CA if that happened..especially in the more expensive areas.

This overturns an earlier decision holding that companies lacking a physical presence in the state could not be required to do so.The 5-4 ruling is also a victory for U.S. states, which have been deprived of billions of dollars annually that would otherwise have gone toward the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, education and other vital services.

The 10 days is the limit of time for someone to file an action to overturn an Improper foreclosure.The foreclosure is conducted by the county clerk of court, not the city.
