Owner is a widow and is now living with family member.

I became involved with them in  2015 as a single mom and widow and have still not recovered.

On the conservative end, I know of a widow in Denver that put her life savings into buying a $250k duplex for cash.

The owner was recently widowed and doesn’t want to care for the properties alone.

My church just finished moving a frail elderly widow who had to sell her house, and move into a single wide mobile home, due to financial hardship. 

The seller (an older, recently widowed man) asked to stay in the house for 3 days after closing since he needed the money to pay for his next home.My first thought was, absolutely not!

One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation.

., the guy who just about lost his shirt and needs to liquidate his assets for $0.70 (or even $0.85 for crying out loud) on the dollar–and these kinds of people typically would need a cash, not an FHA, buyer anyway–or that older widow who’s sick of dealing with tenants but still wants the monthly cash flow and would be open to seller financing.

I purchased a house from a widow.

The more experience you have with women (or men, it doesn't really matter, bad relationship partners come in all genders), the less likely you are to make a mistake in the single more important factor, your marriage, that decides if you go through life rich or poor.95% of US millionaire households are headed up by a married couple or a widow/widower. 5% are headed up by someone who is single or who chose not to remarry after divorce.
