You want to be the investor-friendly agent sourcing deals for them and then getting the flip listings.

Thanks everyone for the responses, Im still going back and forth with the tenant discussing options. making sure she has explored all sources of income.On a related note: How hard is it to get a unit rented at the moment? 

I've heard of using List Source as a tool to collect addresses of properties. 

If driving for dollars is your main source for lead generation how many hours a day are you driving?

I am in North Jersey and I am sourcing a top Central Jersey investor-friendly agent for someone now so I can pass that along.

Auctions and tax foreclosures have been my only source.

Since, pre-foreclosure properties seem to be an opportune source for potential deals, I subscribed to an MLS search site that provides property foreclosure/pre-foreclosure information. 

Assuming your mothers income had withholding, they should really owe nothing, unless there are other sources of income here that you are not mentioning.Converting the basement to a legally rentable unit requires permitting as such and proper zoning on the property.

and well to make it short, my conclusion was " I was not doing things right" "I failed my self and my family for relying on outside sources to take care of us" This time going forward I am more committed than ever to pursue my journey in investing and never again rely on things that are not in my control dictate my well being. 

My only other source was to look at my completion (as a potential s8 renter online) but I don’t know how to tell if it’s accurate.
