Once people get over the sticker shock there is plenty of money to be made in Sacramento or any other area in California.

When I heard what they were paying in maintenance and how much turnover they've had I was shocked. 

Gotta be a huge culture shock!

She was shocked.

Yes my Banker and I have been all over.. when I launched in Detroit I took him a long.. as a lifelong Porlander it was a culture shock to say the least.. we pull into the PM's office south of 8 mile.. parking area is fenced in with razor wire.. 

I am actually pretty shocked that anyone said this was a good idea.

And a rather shocking $30million condo sale for a 6000 ft place on Billionaires Row in Pacific Heights!!!!

@Ryan O'Hara  as you realize you have to move her closer to market, the shock of market rent is something she is going to experience sooner or later unless you are willing to supplement her long term.

First things first,assess the exact situation.Find out exactly how much money she owes and to whom.You are going to have to eventually make contact with the lender when you ask them for payoff information anyway so you might as well do it now.Be prepared for a shock because they could hit you with years worth of late fees that could total thousands and thousands more than you expected.Then you need to sit down with your mother and figure out the end game.Where is she going to live?

Taking into account a global economic shock, a coinciding drop in energy prices, many small businesses that won't recover, unemployment, the possibility for a run on US Dollars which could cause the USD to spike, plus municipalities and retirement funds who were already on financial thin ice – there's a great deal of risk and the combined headwinds are enormous.
