Rationale that I have seen successfully work for this: relocation for a new job, relocation to be closer to a current job, relocation to take care of elder family members, relocation for kids to go to a better school, relocation to a bigger or safer property. 

I'm currently interested in making an off-market offer on a home currently owned by an elderly couple that is downsizing. 

Our health care is rated B. https://medicareguide.com/best-states-for-elderly-healthcare...For the people buying homes currently it's mostly high income earners especially tech people paying $1.5 to $3 million for SFH and they will bid up on a desirable home especially on the Peninsula/Silicon Valley.

They now own it again, and you can't make them deed to back to you once the lender isn't looking.We're not even dealing with the issues of protected classes, emotional people, pre-foreclosures, elderly and minorities.

We are in a fight over jacked up lot rents that are going to make most of the mobile home park move out as they are either low income / fixed income tenants or are elderly and just cannot afford these high rents.

Im looking at a triplex where one of the units is occupied by a very elderly hoarder and there are roaches everywhere.  

There can be substantial transfer costs and taxes involved.We're not even dealing with the issues of protected classes, emotional people, pre-foreclosures, elderly and minorities.

They did a "table top" closing, warranty deed signed but not recorded, no legal representation, and if the elderly couple who had no money to cure their foreclosure can come up with $500,000 in 6 months, they can buy they property back.

Like elderly care homes?

I believe it's more for established "housing" ie a caretaker that has elders living/renting in rooms, halfway/sober living units, things like that.
