It should not, assuming you can still show proof that you can financially support her.

No, unless you needed to use your property information for the I-864 form since your income was inadequate.

No. USCIS or DOS will look at your most recent income tax return and current income (or liquid assets = 5 times any shortfall). If insufficient, you will need a co-sponsor.

No, except that you will need to file an affidavit of support for her and if your income is inadequate you will need an additional. Affidavit too.

Most likely not. You just need to show you have enough income to meet the guideline. If not, you can also have another USC or LPR to be your co-sponsor.

NO, that should not have any impact on your petition for your mother.

It should not affect your mother's application, however you have to provide the National Visa Center with an Affidavit of Support that has to meet Poverty Guidelines or you can use someone as a co-sponsor who meets the Poverty Guidelines if you income is not sufficient.
