How should we spend 250k from settlement?

So my mother will be receiving a 250k settlement soon. We currently live in a triplex that we own and we live in the front unit and rent the two back units and receive $1800 a month in rental income for them.

Mortgage is ~ $1800 a month and we currently owe about 215k with a 4% interest rate with about 12 years left.

My mother wants a single family home in an area where prices average $600k.

My initial thoughts are to pay 100k towards the mortgage and have 5 years left on that triplex before pay it off. We can hold on to the 150k for when we find a home that we want to buy (store it in a CD or high-yield savings account).

If and when we do buy rent out the front unit and have about $3k in rental income which will pay the 1.8k mortgage giving us 1.2k to help pay our new home mortgage.

My dad and brother’s income is about 2.5k a month after taxes, mine is about 3.5k. With this we should have more than enough income to make this possible and pay for utilities, food, etc.

Any thoughts, feedback/suggestions?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
