I'm a single mother with two kids.

A lady's mother recently died and she wanted the house gone fast so I checked it out and made an offer that was accepted. 

Here's the scenario:Owner's mother is a real estate agent but knows nothing about short sales.

Hi everyone,My friends mother recently passed away suddenly. 

Her mother owns a 3 family and we took one of the apartments, it was in real bad shape.

I have a colleague of mine, who has rented out two rooms in his house to a mother and son (adult son).

Nice guy; things went to heck when his spouse suddenly left and he had a flare up of his childhood heart issues (the reason he worked in cardiology); his mother moved in to help him out. 

Hi Dina my mother in law have a two bedroom condo off egret bay in Webster texas

Your mother can give you $14k a year and $5.45 million over her lifetime. 

Well personally I think some of those articles are whacked...as my mother says: "consider the source" and with out knowing the objectives and perspective of the source it's just hard to tellDo I think Real Estate is a get rich quick business no I do not but is it very possible to build significant wealth absolutely and many on this site are testimonials to that.
