(The lock had long since been repaired by the father.)

How about your father?  

Another concern might be the light commercial zoning for a FHA loan but as long as your property's residential use is grand fathered in then it might be okay.Currently title shows it as SFR so it should be okay.

Hi BP,My brother and I lost our father a couple years back.

Our father will be living in the house in a separate suite and take care of the grounds.

My father left us shortly after that and my mom raised my sister and I.

My grandfather who passed two years ago left the property to my father and we still have not been able to get the property into my fathers name.

This is where I began to think on the market conditions and my equity and what I could do with it if I had it ETC...To Everyone : I a lso forgot to mentioned that I'm not completely finished with all the repairs / upgrades.The A/C is going in Next MondayThe Windows still need to be Installed next week.The Landscape (my fathers business) needs finish Next week after everything else is done.So I am looking at 2 weeks before the house is even ready to consider putting it out on the market and staging it....

In addition to still being attached to ny kids fathers credit negligence, it sank further.

Hello, My father in law has a house he sold on land contract back in 2014.
