His mother is quite wealthy and she is going to "take care of things" for him.

Hey BP,I'm looking to buy a home with a free standing detached mother-in-law apt.

My mother was a moderator for another forum and it really kept her busy.

With people still coming back, (parents that stay in the city they left Katrina for while their children finished high school... people like my mother) i can say that with the distressed home and steadily rising market I see positive growth potential.I am flat broke... but I have been helping my grandparents and living with them during my college years... so i am not this lazy kid who wants to make it over night.

Holy crap - my brother from another mother :)

Welcome,Maybe start out slow when it comes to real estate versus your current occupation / fieldMeaning use your medical field connections( watch doctors, nurses, and etc wanting to invest into your newly performing real estate business )FYI - Having a good paying employment will make it a lot easier to obtain loans and refinancing network deal after deal

I am also part of an elder care group in town that focuses on nursing homes and estate attorneys.

Personally I think its just an excuse for him to stay out of my mothers way for a few hours a day. :) But my Dad would always drag me along as a kid and so I learned quite a bit about home repair and upkeep.
