This is generally known as "land contract/contract for deed". People do it all the time. As suggested in another comment, you should consult an attorney. If either you or your mom is hesitant to do that, you should ask yourself what happens to your house and mortgage if (God forbid) your mom were to die? Don't wait to find out. Get an attorney and make sure that it's all ironed out in advance.
Jobs that offer daily pay seem to be lower wage jobs
This is not a coincidence. This means that the employer has decided it's cheaper to incur whatever costs associated with processing daily payroll than it is to pay wages high enough that their employees don't care or have to care about getting paid every day.
The strategy is to strip the company to the bones. Anything that can be sold will be sold (Buildings, furniture, IP). And if the company needs it to operate it will be leased back at a monthly rate. All cash this generates is pulled from the company to the PE firm. If they can they will saddle the company with a debt for the purchase of itself, so they can have the company not only pay that back, but with interest (a leveraged buyout). Some of these assets sold off can easily go to other subsidiaries of the same PE firm.. such as real estate. Assuring their long term profitability.
Add in "cry to any reporter that will listen that your business is 'failing'" and you have the Eddie Lampert (Sears/Kmart) strategy.
That makes me feel better. There was no crown initially. The flue tiles terminated flush with the brick inside the chimney cap. The old cap made cleaning and inspecting the flues difficult. It also had a fair bit of water damage.
I hadn't thought of it that way. I suppose the decorative brick could be just considered a chase. I haven't been able to find any similar examples so I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at.
Sorry, I suppose I should have clarified that. The right side is the "gap". Both flues are lined with clay tiles. The left flue is not visible in the picture.
Honestly, stuff that probably isn't an issue for most people. I needed a solution that handles personal and business accounting since my wife and I own a small businesses. I also like the fact that Quicken's reporting is a lot more "conventional" than pretty much any other other personal finance software. It doesn't take an act of God to produce a balance sheet, income, and cash flow statements.
I use Quicken Classic since our finances are too complex for YNAB or Simplifi. However, I think Quicken will give you a refund within the first 30 days if you don't like Simplifi.
Our house was built by idiots so it doesn't have any foundation drainage that I know of and the grading is all wrong. Well, lots of things are wrong, but most of them don't flood the basement when it rains.🤷♂️
