His mother, a smoker, had been using it periodically.

This one had IRS liens, CA tax liens, and a Ford Credit lien against the previous owner and her mother who was on title before her.

The mother says I can come over that day and look at it, so I do and to my surprise it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

Also the seller told us that the mother tries to make her daughter take responsibility but she won't.

everyone and there mother is wholesaler in houston these days. is this a property you have a lead on or just an imaginary scenario type of conversation? 

I'm not sure I'm allowed to ask this in our egalitarian age, but do you feel there's a difference to a father having lots of side projects, and a mother?

This is all so new to me that when I'm tempted to go into perfectionist mode, or I get overwhelmed, I look at this quote over my desk: I am a wife and mother and I homeschool 3 of my daughters, ages 3, 7, and 12.

This has forced us to move out of our apartment into my mother's basement so that we can cover the cost of the mortgage.Once this family member moves out we'd like to move in to do some renos.

ok i know this is not the avenue for this post but i need some advice. hoping someone has some insight for me. so i found a home on the 22nd and paid my deposit and 1st month rent and signed the lease.the lease says that i can not be refunded for any money given in the even that i can not move in. the same night i signed the lease my mother died. she lives in seattle and i have no more money left. i told the guy that i cant move in as now i have to go to seattle and say goodbye to my mom etc. he text me and said he understood and that unfortunately he can only give me back my first months rent. i asked him if i found him a new renter to replace me would i get my deposit back he said that they would have to sign the lease and pay by march 1st.

The house were looking at buying (that's posted in the story) has a built in Mother-In-Law suite up stairs.
