Ripping out carpet, easy.New Carpet ($1500)New Appliances ($2500)Painting ($350)Marriage Counseling (Priceless)The refurb took 3 weekends of work.

After more than 15 years of marriage, my wife and I finally had enough equity in our primary residence (and courage) to take out a HELOC large enough to rehab and flip a property.  

I am a Marriage and Family therapist by day and looking to do real estate investing on the side for retirement purposes.

Congratulations on the marriage! 

Your state may be different, but in CA, the surviving spouse would be entitle to 1/3 and the children would, as a group, be entitle to the other 2/3.Since husband is deceased, presuming he did not have a will either not children from a prior marriage, the two disabled children would be entitle to probate Mom's estate.But wait!

Search every searchable county list, including case searches, probate, marriage,  divorce, civil traffic & what not for a match.

First off, Congratulation on your success and new marriage!!!

The landlord is required to sign documents certifying that they are not related to renter - this includes being related by marriage or step.

The exact same scenario happened with Amendment One (2012 - banning gay marriage).

@James Wise you are 100% correct, we bought our second one and a friend was having a rough marriage and wanted to move out, so I told him well if you want to rent this fine.
