Other options presented to me is a long flip where i get a traditional loan for a new property 203k FHA and live in that for a year then transition to the other after I’m finished the occupation requirement to sell.Is there any other way I can use the equity in my home to both fix my current home and fix and flip in another??

But if your mom has been not paying for several years, then you have a bunch of back payments, late fees, and probably significant legal fees already. 

If you do not sell before a financial bump in though road occurs it will be too late and you will likely lose it all.

We've found lately that anyone good is incredibly busy.

thanks for everyone's input, greatly appreciated. while I agree from a buyer's perspective the house will look better after everything is cleaned up, does everyone think by putting it on the market before the clean up has finished I am putting it in a negative light that may affect sales even after the clean up is done ? 

Well I feel like I made full circle and I’m back to wanting to jump into real estate and she is on board this time around and I just finished Brandon’s book finally!
