Perhaps you want to buy the property and rent it to your mom and let her be your PM.

I suppose he could do a background check to ease his mind if that he is concerned about her being a criminal or illegally in the country.

This was found by a friend of ours that has a sewer inspection hose (really cool thing with a camera and a light at the end).I don’t understand how the vapor ends up getting past the trap, but it does and smells awful.

If you are building make sure that your buildings have a good air vapor and weather barrier.

I am also having him install vapor barrier in my crawl space(entire sqfootage of the house is ~1600sqft), replace my main sewerage line that runs into my tenant’s place, add in a full bath, and add in 2 small closets. 

I've got a tenant that has caught 2 mice in traps in past week and has found lots of droppings, including in her bed and under the couch cushions.

Found water in the crawlspace that had resulted in mold that now needs remediation. 2 units need to vacate for 4 days during the remediation per the remediation company (to avoid cross contamination, vapors, and so they can air scrub the 2 lower units). 

That is what I keep telling her... it is just 1-2 years to set us up for decades of success@Adam Vadnais I agree that letting her be in control will help, good point..

Yea without appointing her trustee my assignment fee was $19,000 and with her being trustee it would have been $29,000.

Usually stone is attached over the sheathing material with a vapor barrier and wire mess to allow the motar to bed in.I'd be careful about figuring the labor to gently remove it (big hammers are awesome, but in good and bad ways :) It could take some time.I love hardie-plank siding.
