Very different answers to your question depending on the answer to this one.If for a career path, I would agree with @Michael K Gallagher and find a brokerage that is actively doing deals, has a property management division in house, and has brokers covering each of the key market segments - multi-family, retail, office, industrial and land.

The answer to this question will take into account your mother's goals on how the money needs to work, transition plans in the future, risk tolerance, asset segment preferences (retail, industrial, MF, self-storage, etc.), and many other factors.

They stole over 2000 deposits and were so nefarious that American Greed did a segment.  

Make sure your property is not only listed but also actively marketed to the right audience.Active inventory in this segment has seen a dramatic increase of 79.4%, reaching 6,331 listings.

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $320,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand.

When I started investing, I did not think there was a market outside affordable housing, which is now literally the segment we don't invest in.Ask better questions, people.

This completely disincentivizes a large segment of lien investors on vacant properties. 

Per SMS costs via twilio are 1 penny per SMS depending on segments, which is cheap.
