You can view them with mistrust and let that be your demeanor.  

But the list of wholesalers who operate differently than I just described are the ones doing a disservice to all real estate operators.I really don’t care if a “wholesaler” possesses a real estate license of not.

Their "Multi-Family Solution" is what I use and it sounds similar to what Account Closed described. 

Don't mean to sound harsh but based on the few facts you've described, as a fellow senior I would advise her not to get an expensive reverse mortgage, and I'd want a whole bunch more detail on the "doing renovations" part. 

However, consider the renters point of view, that if you are raising it, you won't be selling the house.

There were 2 offers that we got from the 4 showings we got and each person who viewed the property including the real estate agents told us that the condo has really good lighting and the bathroom and kitchen were really presentable.

Old houses like what you described can be money pits unless you are a contractor.
