No decent GC is going to let an owner run the show AND accept the liability for the owners potential shenanigans. 

Jason, the assisted living business is a wonderful, socially responsible, profitable business, and it's at least a consideration. 

The offer, which has been accepted, is $335,000.

@Chris Sukala, umm, after the first check bounced, you should accept only certified funds, and if not paid within say, 3 days, eviction should have started.  

All of this should be negotiated before an offer is accepted. 

This what they did: Develop an accurate budget for spending in retirementUnderstand the options available through Medicare and the cost of those optionsReview Social Security benefits, and identify the optimal time to begin drawing benefits to maximize the likelihood that your financial plan will be successfulUnderstand the mechanics behind taking portfolio withdrawals to support your financial needsAssess the impact of a potential long-term-care need on your overall retirement plan

They’ll be in every one of our welcome packages going forward.Regarding spare floors, I have a few planks that might replace the bathroom, but that’s about it... still deciding what we’re going to do... new tenants seem to be accepting of it, and frankly told us they just don’t want it to hinder THEIR deposit.

You have to be careful not to give deposits for funding apporval; that is mostly likely a scam.Reasonable costs for appraisals, property inspections are acceptable.  

Fast forward a few weeks, we found a great duplex that we were able to get our offer accepted on - we're pretty excited!

Almost none of them have good credit so they accept they have caused the need for the slightly higher deposit.
