A combination of greedy investors, insurance companies, local government and even neighbors are ganging up on low income homeowners to try to coerce them to leave. I've observed this working with low income seniors living at home. It is disgusting. The insurance companies are starting to price out or just cancel insurance on older homes where the elderly and lower income are likely to live.
Flippers harass them, neighbors ignore them, bother them, or report homes that haven't been renovated as eye sores (while their own yards are full of trampolines, RVs, plastic crap). Someone reported a woman's beautiful wildflower garden as "weeds" that need to be mowed.
The local governments want to see old homes either razed or gutted, they are outlawing certain things that will force people to spend thousands of dollars to comply or be fined, or they will be forced to sell. This is often happening in democrat run areas. I'm not sure how you virtue signal this.
It is disgusting. Old folks should be allowed to live in their homes without this harassment by the greedy. When they are forced out, where do they go? With the skyrocketing rents and long waits for housing assistance, this could get very ugly.
I've seen it. They'll often put pressure on the elderly. These type of pressure tactics by charities and others that pressure the elderly and take advantage of their nativity should be criminalized with heavy fines that make it not with the effort.
Yes, this is happening, I know a few older folks that get offers multiple times per week. Around here, housing construction has slowed to a crawl, so that is probably the reason.

They will eat the bugs and they will live in the pods. They will own nothing, and they will be happy.

Everyone is getting these calls where I live, old or young. I get a call almost everyday and regular mailings asking me if I want to sell.

provide a link, please.
Especially one that shows that insurance companies specifically target these people with predatory practices.
And provide one of the "local government ordinances" that are unreasonable.
On one hand these offers and investors are predatory but all one has to do is say no or not respond in any fashion.
The minute these investors realize one wants to negotiate or is consulting an industry expert of their own most will back off.
A pile cash will help out many a person but so will not having a place to live.
