I talked with her, she said:new carpet last year---has the linoleum but didn't get it put in because of the health crisis;has brand new acIt's in a bad small park---space fee $600!!!

I support my disabled mother who has many health problems.

Thomas, we don't know any of the values here, FMV, loan amount assumed nor if your mom is up in years or just a kid in her 50s (lol) and if there are any serious health issues together with her financial position.

Where do I need to be mentally, how many pieces of mail should be going out, how feasible is it?

In 2008 and 2009 there was a string of lawsuits of kids falling in pools and city liens on title for health violations.The comment that was made about giving the property to the bank, probobly is missing details.

If I can get a solid investor on the hook to buy it, I will take the risk, but only if I have the sell side locked up already.Here's the problem with that mentality, and its something that I battled with in a former partner of mine that I mentored.

If I was looking over NC, I'd choose based on long term health of economy:1.

while i can't work for him full time and he is not ready to completely give up control, i offered to work for him for free to help him with his maintenance and doing a 'health check' on all his units. he was excited about this and said thats exactly what he is looking for.

For example, if I am walking through that den bar and considering buying the house, I am mentally calculating how much of a discount I need to get so I can tear out that backsplash.Flippers provide the canvas.  

Might I point out this is a Section 8 tenant which raises the issue of an entitlement mentality here.
