I would suggest if you have interest, obtain a unit at a resort that you would not object to going to into the distant future Some timeshares are right to use, which have an expiration period, others are deeded you own that week forever, others are vacation clubs where you can trade your week for a fee, others have a point system.

Why the need to resort to lies?

it is a great place to live also if you can make a living in a resort style town. 

It's a slope I have been to scared to ski for a few years now.  

If she doesn't want to transfer the whole property to your sister, I don't recall your mentioning what kind of property it was, she could transfer it to a new trust or LLC and sell part of that to your sister and then your sister might be able to pursue a loan.I would also talk with a local banker about refinancing some of your mom's high rate debt, just that might free up some cash-flow and that always helps.As a last resort you mom might have to sell some property to get funds to bring the the remaining holdings on line and up t speed.  

Eviction is a last resort, but will happen if necessary.Thank you again for your response.Christine

Test it; see if you can fix it; and then as a last resort install new a new system as that will be $$$$.

Will price of houses ski rocket? 

Yes, a month-to-month rental agreement makes it easier to evict, but that should be the last resort.

I am thinking cash out now with this low fixed rate money then resort to HELOC closer to when rates rise in Q3 2015.
