She is now looking to sell, but her daughter lives in the home and basically told her mother that in order to get her out, she would need to evict her.

You'll have everyone & their mother give you their spot via association.

Fully finished the basement area as mother-in-law unit.

One by the county for unpaid sewage, bankruptcy, and the city was shutting off his electricity and boarding the place up because he inherited the house a year ago when his mother passed and never started probate.

Is the home in a neighborhood where you would allow your mother to go alone at night had she never been there?

These are properties that with minimal work they can be set up for a duplex like places with a mother in law suite. 

Not sure what your current living situation is, but you may have an opportunity to get into a new home with a Mother in Law suite, or an ADU that you can STR, just to see if that rental strategy works for you.

Congratulations to an expectant Mother!  

Drama on top of more drama.Plumber fixed the toilet, which he says "may" be what caused the smell, but he personally smelled nothing.The tenant somehow, and I have no idea how, tracked down my personal cell number - bypassed the property management company and started calling me to complain about the fact it took three plumbers to fix the issue and how he shouldn't owe rent because of being forced to live in such an environment.Eventually I lost my cool because this guy was getting more and more aggressive on the phone, and I told him I would gladly approve his request to move.I don't think he expected that, because an hour later the tenant's mother called me (she doesn't live with him) to apologize on his behalf and talked to me about allowing him to continue living there.

You’re probably thinking, I don’t know this person so why should I get involved… just remember that we’d both be in the same boat, we both have to trust and respect one another, but read to the end, and learn more about me.I was born and raised in San Jose, California by my beautiful, wickedly smart and fiercely independent single mother.
