I have seen five cases of this scam in the past 19 months. 

***************************************************This Florida company was accused of scamming homeowners.MV Realty uses quick cash to entice homeowners into signing 40-year contracts.In a news release, the lawmakers specifically cited MV Realty, a Delray Beach-basedbrokerage that provides quick cash to homeowners who sign over the exclusive rights to sell their homes.

I know after the eviction is approved they have another 5 days to vacate the property, but I'm concerned they'll trash the place after the judgement, and curious to see if I can get them out same day as the court hearingThat's a really interesting question.I was assisting as a "professional witness" (I have professional experience) in a disputed real estate transaction, in federal court.The plaintiff was clearly scamming the investor.

It´s a pretty obvious scam if you are in the STR industry but I can see how people fall for it. 

On the other hand, nobody wants to see their parents scammed in their old age, and hence some consumer protections in residential property is probably justified.

It feels like a scam.

It's just isn't worth defrauding/scamming/cheating someone, especailly the old and ailing.

I have seen investors get scammed by contractors too many times!

This is sickening, but becoming quite a common scam.
