Care to share the details?

You need 6" clear from ground to bottom plate, and ground must slope away from house...5) Any place that water can enter the house (doors and windows, skylights, where roof meets eaves, etc...) should be checked thoroughly, if it's not raining on inspection day, you have to be really careful with this...any suspect areas, put a hose on them....

We care about our investors' success, but it's ultimately up to each investor to take action to accomplish their goals however they do it!

This is the list to not invest in without extreme careful attention to detail.Don't go where the masses are going.

Quote from @Jason Burkart: Quote from @Theresa Harris: Whatever you do, I'd keep it in your name if you are the one paying for it, in part for some of the reasons others mentioned (if at some point she goes into a retirement home and needs to use her assets to pay for care).Are you able to pay for her home for 10-20 years? 

So be careful

I still think if you're an investor, you need to run your numbers carefully. 

Research market rents, carefully calculate expenses, and ensure you have a solid lease agreement.

At the end of the day, 99% of sellers and brokers only care about your surety to close (I leave out 1% that might care about HOW you operate your deals, regardless of price paid).The fact that you have never closed a large transaction AND are not providing all your proof of funds up front and/or talking with brokers about where the money is coming from, will give them some trepidation.
