You have to always assume there is that one neighbor who likes to play neighborhood watch and report people.

I've been lurking on BP and watching the podcasts/seminars for a little while now and I am excited to get started in investing.I will try to keep this short and sweet...My mom owes $65,000 on her home (SFH 3/2), currently appraising for $120,000 as-is.Current mortgage payment is $500 a month with rents in  the area in the $1200 - $1350 RangeHome needs $35,000 - $40,000 in rehab (based on 3 estimates) .A similar home, okay finishes recently sold for between $160,000 - $185,000Unfortunately, my mom is disabled and isn't in a financial position to get the home repaired and wouldn't qualify for any type of loan due to credit issues as well.She's willing to sell me the home and willing to loan me the profits of the sale to kick off our investment portfolio. 

@William Givens, I forgot to mention that I watched a lot of videos in Youtube from this channel called "prep agent".

watch couple of YouTube videos on RMR-86 and sounds like a great product to address the issue.

Be fun to watch a lender foreclose half a house.

I'm new to biggerpockets.com and iv'e been watching bigger pockets podcasts since Feb 1, 2017, gathering information on investing in rental property.

Reading and watching the BP free course would be a good way to start.

@Mark Nolan , thanks I am going to watch that now.  

I grew up watching my Dad rehab, flip and rent homes, so I've seen (and done) some of the grunt work, but I have yet to get my own skin in the game.On the flip side, my Mom has had a house that I've worked with a property manager to keep rented for the last 10 years or so.
