Min buy in is 50k, pays quarterly distribution. timeline 5-7 yrs, getting very good loan from insurance co source at 6.75% or so with interest only on yrs 1-3 then no defeasance penalties thereafter if they re-fi or sell.

And that educational out, you know, where you get a degree that offers you upward job mobility, where you move into a big house, and you drive an expensive, late-model car? 

I am about to put an offer in on a tenant occupied property from the 1950s.

Offering a gradual increase or some incentives can help ease the transition.

Would you make an offer on this property based on these projected returns?

And then you lose all your bene's and raising a family and paying for health insurance is a big deal. 

Not all lenders offer HELOCs on investment property but you can find the ones that do by calling around.

An insurance agent can help you get the right business insurance.

For the purchase of the new property, you can consider a seller carry offer (balance of purchase price minus the down payment) or obtain a new mortgage on the commercial/resort. 

For the house to be vacant for almost a year, I think she must not be well or be under some kind of stress, so I feel like by coming in and offering the right kind of deal, I would be benefitting her and myself at the same time.How would you guys approach this situation?
