It's possible with a longer time on market, they may be open to a lower price.2) being sold by owner - may be more opportunity here. price may be over/under market value.3) foreclosure - bank is motivated to sell. may be willing to sell under value especially in a slow area.based on this, it seems like best bet would be to pursue houses sold by owner, foreclosures, and listings that have been on market for a while. there also is a whole other approach of finding motivated sellers - drive bys, bandit signs, etc.

I like to tidy out the street appeal like mailboxes, sign, sensor lights and fencing. 

Its nice of you to help her out, but I've also watched Judge Judy enough to know how this could turn out. lol Obviously you can't sign a lease with her yet, so at this point, I would use the next month to determine if you'd even want her there for an extended period of time.

I take it there is no common place for the listing and sale of them.
