And it would be much nicer, if you actually used a name and not 'your mother' , which is sort of insulting, even if most people here don't know. 

I bought a "duplex" that is listed as a single family and we were able to get it approved as a single family with a "mother-in-law suite, or utility suite."

They have people living there that are not on the lease, per statements made by the lease holder, a mother and her son are in the house now, without consent.

I'm twenty-four years old and recently began my career working as a registered nurse.

I would be bullish on good housing near the hospital/medical center as those places will drive nurses, techs, etc other solid income tenants.

Mother and child is ALL THE SECURITY you need.

I am looking for granny flat because my mother in law will come to live with us.

They might be a nurse on a temporary assignment, they may be building a house and need a place while their home is completed, they may be visiting family in the area....

Lot's of people fail and just a few make it so concerns can be valid.If you have a family and kids it might be a good idea not to go ALL IN on something.Everyone takes risks you just want them as calculated and informed as possible.My mother in law when her husband passed away and sold the house received about six figures.

The resolution was a bit contentious and we actually got a nastygram facebook message from the individual's mother in law.
