Then you can fix and rent or fix and flip with no penalty and have  security of a 30 year term loan.

I often see buyers leverage equity in other real estate (refi or HELOC), finance it through a Farm Credit, or seek owner financing.

I’ve been listening and reading about Tom Wheelwright’s suggestion on cashing out on 401k/IRA and taking the penalties and investing it in real estate since new tax laws would be in favor of investors.With new tax laws (2017) and the many deductions (bonus depreciation and doing a Cost Segregation), would passive investors benefit by cashing out their previous employer's 401k or traditional IRA to invest in real estate?

It is also possible that the neighbor could file a suit against your mom and seek a court order to remove the fence, that would require your mom to defend herself in court by claiming the land under the California adverse possession statute.Alternatively, you could advise the neighbor that your mom has the right to claim the property -but as a gesture of good faith, offer the neighbor an amount you feel appropriate in exchange for the neighbor deeding the disputed portion to your mom. 

I am seeking any and all advice regarding Virginia.
