Use a calendar with reminders for everything important.3.

Portland also kind of reminds of San Francisco before it went crazy in the last two decades... 

Make sure you remind them that you will be back every month ( you don't have to you just need them to think you are going to do an inspection so they keep the property neat and clean).

Then it took a few minutes to remind myself (or learn for the first time) what on earth reo even means?

Just a reminder for everyone.

@Brent Cullipher much appreciated feedback and counsel-- a great reminder to be assertive, thank you! 

I would just remind everyone to review their property tax assessed value.

If you have a lease (other than month to month) with her, I would remind her that she signed a lease and it's a valid contract that she needs to honor.Next, I would go to the police staion and let them know what is going on.

Thanks for the reminder about the group.Phil's BiggerPocket meetups are definitely my favorite, though I enjoy Mark Collard's Outback ones as well.

No issues.You just make sure mom has enough money, and make sure boyfriend or girlfriend aren't criminals.Then be sure to remind mom of lease policy if the kids break up.Mom is still on the hook until you find a replacement.
