Hi all:
Congratulations for the living arrangement with your mother. I believe family members can achieve great things when they work together. My sister and I lived in a 3 brm unit in our youth, purchased for the purpose by our parents. (I suggested it was such a waste paying rent to strangers – so they bought the home unit.) We shared a bedroom and let out the other two to boaders, one of whom was our brother, for part of the 3 years we lived there. Worked well. In my family we understand that business is business.
All the best
Yve
