These are based on the person's needs, wants, family commitments, health, obligations to spouse-kids, and many other factors.Keep this as a first milestone and move forward. 

Well, you could move out without penalty since it's probably a health hazard.

As far as land is concerned, you can sell it for someone else to build a house on, donate it Habitat for Humanity, a church, or another agency(huge tax write off), eventually build a house on it myself(100k in construction could yield a $150k profit if the house sells for $250k...and you only paid a few hundred for the land plus another few hundred for the legal stuff lol), you can put a billboard on the land and rent it out, parking lot depending on the location, the options are truly limitless!

The owner is not in good health and has no desire to owner finance.

Going back 7 years I see between 12-17% in any given year, so it's accurate.3) Health insurance for a self-employed person is going to cost you big $$$...much more if you have a family/kids. 

You want to tell your tenant to sign a liability waiver (in Calif we call it a 1542 waiver) because of possible health and habitability issues YOU created and if she does not sign it, you want to evict her?

Do you all have health insurance?

Now with the states making harder with license requirements, hassles of filing foreclosure in judicial states, stipulations on contacting borrowers, statue of limitations since last payment or maturity of the notes, I am much happier doing the business loans to landlords, and working on investor relations for 16 geriatric behavioral health hospitals, and lender relations for a company buying pools of low balance consumer notes in the single digit range and bringing them lenders who also want to clip coupons and not deal with all the hassles of mortgage notes. 

Not only that but with having a child I saw how nice it is to have good employer sponsored health care insurance.Finally I may be a rarity but I really enjoy my work.

We're trying to get the city and health department to do something, but that's an ongoing battle.
