An alternative option to propose is to inquire if he seller would be open to seller financing.  

@Justin Tahilramani The condos are in 5 story buildings with no natural gas (in the resort at all)...and the only propane is to the pool heaters. 

If your property is unsafe, you may be on the hook for finding/paying for alternate accommodations.

Thats just the nature of home ownership .  

Please reach out to me when you are about to make an offer and Ill direct you to the best alternative given the choice.

@Minka ShaHi Minka, few questions that will either make some of the above options, not options at all, and maybe some alternative options to think about. 1.

My W-2 is a nurse and interested in providing alternate housing for elderly who often need oversight. 

@Kati Finneran Hey Kati...first, good for you...by using BP, and seeking advice, you are practicing risk management...this is an excellent characteristic and one that should be expanded upon going forward...second (and the following advice/statements are very general in nature as I have no knowledge of your deal's specifics or your personal situation), I would move forward if you are willing to educate yourself on the nuances of being a Section 8 landlord...there are some important government-related strings that come attached with subsidized housing...third, I would move forward if you can secure financing that is acceptable to your situation...fourth, I love the HH strategy and were I you, I would make a small investment in Craig Curelop's book "The House Hacking Strategy" so as to learn as much as possible about the approach...finally, in response to your last question, we are always looking to acquire the right investment - always!

The alternative to turn key is not some ideal, guaranteed slam dunk goldmine. 

Added to that were comments of a very sentimental nature about it being "her home" and how my dad and her were "planning a life together," and clincher -  "Your dad said you would take care of me."
