I've spoken with a 17 year old who partnered with his mother to get his first deal.

Against her parents advice as a 30 something single mother she bought a duplex & rehabbed it & the income paid her mortgage.

I would recommend doing STR and appealing to the travel nurse crowd.

Or the mother of these kids didn’t teach them the basics 2.

I think only applies to PR, I similar issues when my mother in law passed away this year.

However, a lot of people find success in medium term condo rentals (ex: traveling nurses on a 3 month contract).

How old is your mother and how much growth do you see for the business? 

However, once it turns into a mother-in-law suite (called Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU), appraisers don't use it in total square footage in Arkansas, which is really unfortunate.

I’m always so wary of low cost houses.Funny story, I moved into a rental my mother owns in Westport CT with my girl friend because I am working with P&Z on adding a 1200 sqft addition to pay a very low rent (at cost of the loan to build and it utilities) while we rent the existing residence out.It turned out that next door the owner was looking to sell, which is a duplex.

The house is in a neighborhood where medical, nursing, pharmacy students rent.
