John is married and inherits $100,000 house from his mother.

My father passed a few years ago and my my mother is aging and she has asked me to help her with a rental property she owns in New York City, Queens to be exact. 

We have had great success with these two buildings and are fortunate enough to have my mother as our property manager (25 yrs in the biz).

My mother is from Morristown.

The biggest question is whether or not you and your mother are willing to move 20-30 minutes down the road.Saint Pauls NC has a nice 1200 sq.ft. house listed in the mid-$20s that you should be able to get up to speed without too much money as long as you know someone who will do plumbing work for you cheap.If you have approximately $20K, you ought to be able to find something in your price range in rural NC, but it might not be in your immediate vicinity.Good luck,

As of now, my brokerage (once I do get my license) will be Remax because my friends mother, who is barely mentoring me, is helping me out, kind of.Thank you BP members for your time and your help.

My wife is currently going through her masters to be a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner while holding a full time job as well as being a mother (ya she is a total badass), and I teach Texas History and coach football and soccer. 

Not sure how often mother nature requires claims to be filed in this part of the country. 

My mother recently retired and is renting.

Some where down the line, my mother who owns a multi-property in NYC, informs me that she would like to place the property under my name.
