My mother and her husband will check the property out tomorrow.

My mother knew that I was trying out REI and someone told her that they needed to sell a house quickly, she knew just the right person for that!

my mother is about to buy her 5th condo.

Pam,Your mother's problem is very normal and predictable.

It may have been the guys mother for all I know.

I have a agreement with my mother that she could someday live at this rental again in the future, if she needed too.

It didn't matter to me though.I wouldn't buy a property from my mother without an ALTA Title policy so fortunately, and to the relief of my agent, I was covered and my sale went through on time with only this little hiccup.

Not bad.There are 2 things I will do in addition to the numbers.1) drive by the property at night...will your wife or mother feel comfortable walking there at night?

I met @Karin DiMauro and her Mother, at the Ctreia meeting, and we are now doing a deal together.Raymond

The first one we bid on we were screwed a bit by the listing agent who sold it to another investor in the area for a lesser price than what we bid (dont think the sellers were ever shown our bid), we later saw it on the market fixed and flipped.During this time my mother was facing a difficult time paying for her home so she was going to let it forclose so we were going to purchase a home for her.
