When they do, it could leave you in an pretty awkward situation.

I've never placed any bids on this site, but sounds like an awkward thing to do.

Cabinets are just so old I don't think there salvageable, water damage, weird lay out, the top cabinets are mounted so low there only about 14 inches higher then the counter which makes it look very awkward.

I guess it would be kinda awkward because the Buyer might think..

Okay a couple quick notes- Just cause I'm curious- 1st picture starting after exterior- the kitchen picture with table- you may want to remove the table- yes the kitchen has eating space but the table where it is also makes kitchen look smaller than it is- Open the kitchen window and take a better picture.Second picture- nice arch and windows- mat in the middle of the walk way looks out of place.3rd picture- Open the window and get some light in the house- remove the cups/plates and just add a runner on the table and then the flowers.4th picture- Umm why is there a outside sitting chair in what seems to be room- confused.5th picture- weird place for the couch- you may want to move it to where the tv is or maybe where the window is-room looks awkward- yeah definately where the window is and then maybe two chairs- some pillows with a bit of color.6th picture- weird thing on wall- tv and mat again in weird place.7th picture- what room is this and why is there a weird shaped sideway window?

That's so true, even if it gets borderline awkward.

If the mom is dying, she may not have it in mind to pay rent so you'd want to avoid being in the awkward position of asking them for late rent during such a difficult time.

Because it would be real awkward if you got so far in the deal with the seller, only to have to wait a while to find a buyer right? 

Which you do not want to make things awkward  with after leaving work

I think I just quoted @Christopher Gilly by accident, sorry buddy.
