If she doesn't want to transfer the whole property to your sister, I don't recall your mentioning what kind of property it was, she could transfer it to a new trust or LLC and sell part of that to your sister and then your sister might be able to pursue a loan.I would also talk with a local banker about refinancing some of your mom's high rate debt, just that might free up some cash-flow and that always helps.As a last resort you mom might have to sell some property to get funds to bring the the remaining holdings on line and up t speed.  

IDOT made a lot of improvements to IL-59 between Plainfield and I-55, though downtown Plainfield remains a speed-bump on that highway as does the I-30 junction just south of downtown Plainfield.

As Investors and Real Estate Entrepreneurs I believe its important that we nourish our psychology to remain positive and productive.

@John Semanchuk , well, I am comparing about 6% ROI plus perhaps appreciation to 8% after fees and inflation for stocks.

Although we remain optimistic believing it's all part of the process.

I ran into two situations within 3 months of each other that a company out of Utah who shall remain nameless, (unless you directly inbox me for their name)that bought 2 properties for about $28k/piece that already had tenant in place. 

Hedgefunds did come and take over and have inflated the prices but there are still some deals out there. 

We choose not to inflate a property's ROI by adding in anticipated or forecasted appreciation.

I guess I was just asking more along the lines of buying now with the prime lot location and then selling in 2 yrs or so, but I can see how this can be very risky with the current falsely inflated economy. 

So, being a newbie, it is my understanding that 50% rule simply states that 50% goes to costs of property and then 50% going to debt service (and the remaining from debt service is your cash flow).My questions is simple, does this apply to condominium units or just SFH?
