@William Allen Thanks William for your input on where to look at for the house hacking definitely is my top choice since that’s where my mother is thinking about relocating to. 

.- In Dec 17 there are no visible sign of mold but a mother calls the property manager requesting an air quality test because her son has respiratory problems. - Dec 17 we do the test and it reveals mild elevation (500-1500 ppm) of either Penicillium (laundry room, 1 bedroom) or Cladosporium (bathroom).

@Jessie Huffey I do not pay much rent to my mother, usually $200 a month.

It sounds far and high enough from the ocean, but you never really know what kind of storm mother nature can cook up!

My mother worked there as well in the closing department, Kathy is a top notch person! 

I'm not a single mother though, I will have help from the father (that info plays into my money expenditures).

Also AS @Edward B. stated completely bad Karma to kick someone out of their home that rescued it the morning before the sale I don't care if it was 5 minutes they got the dough there.watch the movie 99 homes to see the other side of this heart wrenching things owners went through.for these reasons we rarely anymore buy homes that are occupied.. if its abandoned then its a different story.think about your mother or father being booted out.. or someone you love.. then make your decision.

Hey everyone, We have agreed to buy a property in Maryland from my mother-in-law, this will also be my first deal.

Transferrable skills (nursing, waiting as in food service, carpentry, and all kinds of other skills) can also be a ticket into the cruising world either full or part time. 

I am planning on selling that house using the equity to purchase my mothers condo.
