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.

One lady is a new widow of about 6 months, she and her husband had about 6 properties they own in a small town and she is just tired and ready to sell.

If you go and knock a door and ask for Joe, you could really irritate a widow if she answers the door.

In every community there is the retired couple or widow type wh is getting, now, 2 or 3 %, if you can find them (which can't be that hard) you need to appoach them and pay them three times what they are getting!

Unfortunately the percentage of life savings that you have in the game only matters to God with the Widow's mite.The unfortunate fact is that if the person has 1,000 and he puts in that $1,000 as 100% of his net worth he can still make back that $1,000 easily with a second job, a sold car, or even doing any number of things that can easily net you $1,000.

For instance, an older widow who has inherited her husband's apartments and feel burdened with tenant and maintenance problems might be an ideal prospect for seller financing play, even at a higher price point. 

That includes marketing it in the MLS (or internet, or yard sign) for sale. 2nd: The contingincies (option contract or short payoff approval, or widow treatments) are all part of your listing agreement, and will need to be disclosed as the MLS and BOR requires.3rd: FAR (Florida Association of Realtors for who want to know) now is expecting agents to accept and submit 1 contract at a time.

We live in an area where there are black widows and other undesirable spiders, so we have a pest service come every single time someone moves out; however, if a unit is empty for a time, black widows move back in and must be exterminated before a tenant moves in, so we do an inspection of every unit before someone moves in to make sure it's ready to go.

Don't forget this story:http://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/29/world/a-120-year...Basically a 47 year old man agreed to pay a 90 year old woman the equivalent of about $500 a month for the rest of her life, in exchange, he would get her awesome apartment in the middle of Paris upon her death.Well, she ended up living to be the oldest person in the world, and the man passed away at 77, never getting her apartment, and what's more, then man's widow must continue to send the woman these checks every month, and if she passes away, the man's children must keep them up!
