To my benefit though, I have a feeling that multiple offers drove the price up, but some of those people may have been using financing and this particular home probably wouldn't even appraise at asking.I guess the most ambiguous but accurate response would be: it depends!

I hear you, that can be absolutely true but the benefits are good too.

You should be able to put a revenue dollar amount on what the difference in location is worth. then its just a cost benefit analysis to this specific location. 

Develope a good relationship that benefits both you and the agent and you will find an agent you can trust.  

Another aspect is here health and likelihood of ending up in a nursing home, that sale can come back in her determination of assets to qualify for benefits.

Off Market sellers  have the added benefit of not being emotionally tied to the property.  

Honestly I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

And I hope this question benefits others as well .

Also thinking I should outline the benefits of doing this with me over their current investments, traditional savings, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.

Most of the larger organization I have called have their own apartments/dorms and are not interested.Section 8 in Austin does not pay any type of premium for these amenities so I'd rather not start there.I would love to rent to an organization or family that can utilize the benefits this house offers-- as it is very niche designed.Any suggestions?
