so Mom countered her offer... but then had to reject it... they just didn't want to give her time to get out....IDK crazyness. they wanted her out by Dec 16... Not sure how they thought that would work. So... she also feels at this time she can afford to not auction it... makes us nervous (she has changed her plan 7 times in the last 5 days...) DH is a planner so this is making things very stressful for him. ... but I guess if things get too tight we have can figure things out. This is just too good of opportunity for our family. Just frustrating as this will definately limit our ability to get in the house and do work.. DH is hesitant to start demoing...in case we had to resell it...but I really think we can make it work. Timeline just need to change somehow. (do we try to get the basics done ASAP so we can just sell our place, or do we push it off and take more time and somehow maintain things and not count on Mom selling any time soon...?) but tomorrow is the day!

The hand of the Lord is in this. Take a deep breath, He's got you covered. It may be rough, it may have rocky moments, but the Lord has led you here, He has given you this opportunity and your family is meant to be here. Faith, love and hard work will see you through.

Might want to demo a room at a time in that case. Long run it works out, if it doesn't the house will be in far better shape for the work that was done and worth more than you paid for it. Best of luck, REALLY hope it works out, and sorry your mother is being so flighty.

Some buyers like to take possession of property as soon as possible and even immediately after closing.......it is legally theirs at that time, (or as soon as the title transfer makes it to county clerk office anyway) so I can't really see any fault in that.
The last property I sold, when I left the title office, I stopped by the property and picked up my locks off the gates before I drove on to the bank with the check.
She probably Can afford to not auction it.
It's not easy to sell your home and move out...forever.
Gonna shoot from the hip here and go with my not always dependable memory...
If I recall, you are presently living in your present home, and have not put it on the market yet, hence it's not for sale yet. Your mom has been trying to sell her place for quite some time and due to it's present condition, it would take a "special type buyer" to want to purchase it. She has an (I assume) qualified, lender approved buyer, offering to buy and she doesn't want to sell???
A 30 day close is NOT uncommon, and is VERY do-able under most circumstances, and based on my limited knowledge of your situation, should be doable here. She will in all likelihood NOT get anywhere near the price she wants in an auction situation should she be forced into going that route. The potential buyer may need to close this year for tax purposes. They may not be able to wait till next year to close.Your mom could rent an apartment someplace on a month to month deal. She could move in with you folks temporarily while you get the new place fixed up. You'll be the proud owner of your future home in a day and 1/2, as I recall there are several high quality, weather tight storage buildings at your new place. Why can't she move all her belongings into one of those bldgs until she has her own new place to move into? She would have to store her stuff in any case until that new place is ready for her.
Once you have the new place re-habbed and your family moves in, she can live in your present place until you get her new place built on the new property then sell your place when she move into her new place. I mean there are some sucky logistics involved here I'll admit, but it CAN be done and work out. If your mom really wants to sell her place, and has a willing buyer offering a price that is acceptable to her, she is ultimately foolish to deny/turn down that offer.
