If you have your personal finances in order, you will have access to some of the lower cost finance options that can make a dramatic difference in your real estate investments.There's a guy named Clark Howard (http://www.clarkhoward.com/)  who has some really good free information that covers a broad spectrum of personal finance and ways to save on the things we all buy.Dave Ramsey (http://www.daveramsey.com/home/) is also really good on how to get your personal finances in order. 

You can't expect people to answer 20 super broad questions on a public forum, especially when some of those questions involve revealing proprietary data and information.

Matthews IV As pointed out by @George Blower, the Solo 401(k) option has the advantage of no UDFI on real estate acquisition indebtedness, but as @Brian Eastman highlighted, your mom must have self-employment income to qualify for a Solo 401(k).As reflected above, Solo 401(k) has better features, while self-directed and Checkbook IRA have broad eligibility.You may want to consider a Roth conversion, after which your mom would have no required minimum distributions.

I can...that is a pretty broad question though.

In many ways they are similar, however, forums are a much better medium for asking questions and learning from a broad number of people, whereas on a blog, only one person (typically) puts out the initial content.Regardless, I want to welcome you to the site and the world of real estate social media!

Here is a broad overview: Tenants rent from elderly family members who do not have the means to take care of an old home which sits on a large piece of property.

@Sharon Powell I see your point and from my experience with I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum with agents.  

You should start to see an increase in inventory on and off market as we move into the summer months.I suggest casting a broad net over all three cities by making calls out to agents who specialize in multifamily.
