Mike:From the limited information you have provided, it appears this might be a good deal, but we need more to really evaluate it. 

Hard to comment without seeing the document, but you should regulate the appearance too.

It appears that the income is the most determining factor. 

Bastrop appears to be new construction or flips, a bit too pricy.

If you filed with court, stop the court action.

It never appeared in my inbox.

You also need to call an eviction office as each court workload is different.Vacancy assume 8% (1 month) for estimating reason.I will carry more liability insurance as extra.

I’m now going from driving, writing down addresses and observing, to writing letters, visiting divorce courts (Weird, but it’s a strategy), and several other methods I’ve picked up to find some great deals.

If you have a low payoff, it is a 'disguised loan' and the IRA and courts will treat it as such.

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.
