@Peter Nikic - this is pretty wild, I am currently posting from the bar at Alta.

I am using the calculators every day and analyzing properties, but when it comes to rehab amounts I feel foolish punching in wild guesses.

I lived abroad until about a year ago, and my income varies wildly (some months I make 1k, some months I make 5k) - and I know the banks won't like that. 

Or list it with a realtor.Do not put your mom in the situation where the lady or her relatives think that your mom 'took her house' as it could be an elder abuse investigation.

Ladies and Gentlemen, go straight down to #6, start there, let me know if none of these work for you, I want to pick your brain as to how any of these would not work, I am starting on a few this week. 

Regardless of market cycles (and California has some pretty wild cycles) education and cash flow will help you to financial freedom.

Is the boyfriend on the lease or is it just in the ladies name? 

She even threated me that she could have had the police put me in jail for starting the fire (In my opinion this lady is an delusional bully.

In my opinion it's wildly off when it comes to estimating monthly costs. 

Wild!
