Nothing is foolproof of course, but having another investor in your market make a suggestion at least gets us on the right foot. 

I really like the suggestion you made on renting the house out for some years, then renovating the house and selling it. 

Alternatively, yes you could sell, pay taxes on the gain, and use the proceeds to help your mom directly.Would suggest for you to talk to a CPA and a 1031 specialist to confirm your best move!

Strongly suggest scoping out GA, TN, OK, PA, AL, IN, etc.  

When calling or visiting, are there any suggestions to get them to expedite this? 

But I'd suggest you definitely partner with an experienced investor.

Quote from @Abhishek Wahi: Hi All,Looking for a suggestion, is Plymouth Michigan a good area to invest in a Rental Property? 

i loved their videos and i did contact them, but am worried as some have suggested that they pawn you off to juniors and that their response is very slow.

I would suggest a good PM to start if you don't have a solid background in hospitality or at least something in the service industry.Self-managing can save a ton of money if you know what you are doing. 

So if your interest payment is $1000 then the servicer automatically ACH debits your account that plus the servicing fee (assuming you set up automatic payments as @Christian Ehlers suggests).
