Not to be a hater, but if you're mom is that unstable with jobs, throwing money at the mortgage is the least of the problem. There's some underlying problem why she can't keep a job more than 4 months. I would invest in some sort of financial and/or personal management course for her to learn responsibility and how to handle finances.
Regarding the money, it's really about what you're knowledgeable about. There are plenty of investment options available, but NEVER invest in something you don't understand no matter how good the returns seem. Real Estate can be great, but if you don't know what you're doing, it can become a money pit in a hurry. I've been looking into debt investment, but am still on the fence. Earnings range from 5% to ~17% depending on your risk level. Diversified mutual funds are also another good option to consider.
Because someone is having money issues doesn't mean they are bad with money.
Maybe i missed it in the OP but thats not always the issue.
Like someone said before those multi family units are great for extra money.
Nothing to make a living off of if your only buying one.
My ***** own a couple but he still hustle on the side.
His are section 8 so that's a guarantee check evey time.
No late payments because it's really 3rd party.
