I am the mother of 3 girls and my fiance and I have been educating ourselves in the world of real estate over the last 1.5 years.

I found a property that a woman purchased for her sister to help take care of her mother.

I'll look over the responses more closely to see which one suits me best and will follow up with any additional questions.Might look to profiles of posters too, might get an indication of who you might rely on, do your due diligence.Saying family member isn't definite enough in legal aspects, a third cousin or "immediate family" member, mother, father, sister, brother are going to be exempt lenders. :)

My mother, son, and I stayed overnight before the tenant moved in and I am very pleased with the property.  

My father died in 2007, and after a 2 year transition period, my mother now handles all aspects of the business.Why am I here?

In a battle of wills between a squatter and Mother Nature, always bet on the latter.

Many of those properties would be listed on MLS; just select multi-family properties on your search.Another idea in a similar vein is to look for single family homes that have either a mother-in-law suite or a garage apartment or carriage house.

I found the realtor for my mother's house by looking at zillow for highly rated real estate agents in her area.

I am buying a property,by looking at the prelim report, it has a trust showing both mother's name "A" ( pass away) and daughter "B" is selling the property short sale to me. on the #2. of the title report, it says "Title To Said Estate At The Date Hereof Is Vested In: "A"(the mother) and "B" (the daughter), as Co-Trustees ( or the successor Trustee) of the "A" 2006 Trust, dated May 24, 2006 subject to processdings pending in the bankruptcy court where a petition for relief was filed In June 12, 2013 ."

Sure enough, 6 months later, they get in a fight, leaving the mother/grandma to split, and inadequate cash flow to pay rent, and they needed to downsize.
