Shir, I'm so glad your mom received some good news today!
We re-looked at a couple houses today. There is one I sort of like but TCG is unconvinced. Link removed.

Thanks. It's a really cute house, not perfect but definitely stuff we can live with for a few years when we can afford to fix it up some more. Ranches are just not that popular around here and one floor living is a must for me, as is finding a place that we can put a washer and dryer on the main floor. Plus, the yard is fairly level, so no big flights of stairs just to get in the house.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I thought it looked really nice. Great yard, nice size and a new roof, too! That's a huge plus. There is only one thing you might want to take care of before you move in--if you have popcorn ceilings (which it looks like you do) see how much it would cost to have them scraped and sanded. It is a quick job in an empty house (and thus way cheaper) but takes forever with furniture. That popcorn stuff is no only fugly, it can have bad chemicals in it. Getting our ceilings scraped in our whole house took just one day and made a huge difference in the feel of the place.

It looks nice, I like the living room (or is it another room) with the exposed beam ceilings.
New roof is a big plus too.

I didn't know anything about popcorn ceilings. The look doesn't actually bother me, but a quick google search just freaked me out. I didn't realize that they could have asbestos (my father died from an asbestos related disease). If it did though, the last thing I would want to do is have it scraped or removed, making asbestos airborne is a really bad idea, imho.
