She can't buy the home now because she is still in nursing school.

There is a house across the street from me, single mother with one child in high school.

My mother (aka business partner) actually created a folder called, "Karin vs. all real estate agents everywhere" to keep track of correspondence because I've run into so much of this kind of thing.

The mortgage free unit was inherited by a son; who lives out of town, of the former owner; his mother, and it's pure profit for him, so I'm not so sure, but it's what we were hoping.

Actually, it's a single family home with maid's quarters and a mother-in-law suite. :)

@Jolene Perry As me and my mother are both agents we have dealt with similar situations.

I am an active real estate investor from Los Alamos, NM, among many other things (mother of 2 pre-teen girls, executive director of a research organization, partner in local startup VC, humble servant of 2 bengal cats).

My brother- in - law and wife are buying a house for around 270,000.Mother-in-law is moving in with them in an in-law suite downstairs for the new house.She is selling her house to a cash buyer which is paid off so she has a lot of money.Brother in law has 401k with only 3,000 in it with current employer.

She says she's the person in charge of her mothers estate but her Daughter is the administrator (?).

I am anxious to buy another one.I have partner with my mother to reach this goal.
