Looking to get some info on Municipal Bonds.

Years ago I was a bond trader at the Chicago Board of Trade.  

Like deciding on stocks vs bonds, etc (though of course the "correct answer" can only ever be known in hindsight)

So looks like with bond yields making all time lows, mortgage rates also continue to decline to record lows or very close to those levels.

At that point I would then have to go through an eviction process which could be quite lengthy to get her out of the home.

Why that's the case requires a more lengthy explanation that's too much for BP.

You should look for length of time in the business, depth of experience and expertise, availability of team to answer questions, Fidelity Bond and E&O insurance coverage, check online reviews and secretary of state website to verify they are in good standing, etc. 

I have a lengthy Legal Opinion, from my seasoned Legal Team regarding this matter. 

I would advise to put the money into a safe investment for 1 year such as bonds or something that you are comfortable with that is low risk.Then take that year to educate yourself on the different avenues of investing in real estate.  

The general length is about 30min, take them thru why the market, deal and team makes this a solid investment.
