<prompt> Human: Not sure which flair this belongs under.My father passed away a few years ago, but he left a decent life insurance and savings to my mother. Not sure how much exactly, or even what ballpark. He was a CPA.So i just moved to North Carolina with my wife and kids, for work. We asked my mom to move down to be near us. Most of her family is in NJ, where we all originally lived. For some strange reason that no one can understand, she bought a house in Delaware and moved there last year.It was one of those situations where I didnt agree with it at first. But she basically became a teenager and said I just want you to support my decision. Its my decision and I am going to move to Delaware no matter what you say. So, eventually, I just had to support her decision. Even though Im convinced some real estate agent scammed her into buying a house there. Shes an adult and at 70-ish years old can basically do everything herself.So suddenly I get a call from her later last year. She bought a second house down the street. She says shes gonna flip it and turn it into a rental. I have no idea where she is getting this money. I assume shes draining her retirement savings. She tells me shes doing this because she needs something to do and it will be extra income. I didnt agree with it, but okay, I guess I cant stop you.So this summer, she says she misses us and her grandkids. Suddenly we get a call that she bought a townhome in our town in north carolina. Thats great, but thats literally what I told her to do in the first place. So I ask, are you gonna sell those homes off in Delaware? Nope, this townhome in Delaware will be a rental too. Wtf?!So she calls us yesterday. Mortgage company wont approve of the townhome being a rental home, or else she will have to pay down more. So she says shes gonna make it a vacation home.And NOW, she is looking for a 4th home in the area.Basically, I am just really worried about her mental state and am about 99 convinced shes just getting scammed by real estate people preying on old people with money. But Im even more worried about the implications on me and my family.What happens to these properties when she dies or cant pay or take care of them? Do they get transferred to me and will I be responsible for them?  <response>: Delaware doesnt have any estate or inheritance tax, it has the fourth lowest property taxes, no state or local sales tax, and it doesnt tax social security, which a few states do. So its a reasonable place to move in retirement, especially if you want to be close to New Jersey.
