The goal would be to provide an introduction to me as well as some of the more granular details of my investments.

Looks good considering your estimated repair costs seem really high to me for a 680 sqft home.

On the HUD website it says only that: At least 80 percent of the units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older; andThe facility or community must publish and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate the intent to operate as "55 or older" housing; andThe facility or community must comply with HUD's regulatory requirements for age verification of residentsThis all seems a bit too easy to me, but can't really find step-by-step directions anywhere to do this.

I like the idea of the tax benefits of actually owning income producing real estate )as opposed to REITs), but if I have to screen tenants and answer calls about leaky toilets it does not make sense to me. 

Local place's prices seemed a bit high to me. 3.

Immediately, within 24 hours, multiple companies reached back out to me. 

The total closing cost amount seems high to me as does the appraisal.

It sounds to me like you are in a tough situation, with multiple sides to the story.  

My plan is to talk him into signing the house over to me if I buy the debt, renting it out, then refinancing after a year.

If you do not start there you are winging it. period.So...Everyone comes to me and starts with: "oh but my market is so competitive".And then I immediately label them as "yup, an other one that will never make it".So ALL listen up.
