If you are really new and don’t have anyone you know then go to the city and ask them anything and everything you can...planning, zoning, building departments, fire, development, Enviromental, concurrency  ect. ect. that is there job and why we pay taxes.

You could probably file an OPRA request with both those departments

Or if he is married, something his wife might like, i.e. a gift card to a nice department store or home store in the area.

Highly unlikely the local building department would approve a permit in the city.

Some have said that the department of labor says it's ok to be in a partnership with your father as long as it's an investment and nobody is taking personal benefit, but that the IRS is the one that doesn't like this.Any thoughts please.

Hey @Robert Davalos ,It'll depend on your Department of Commerce (Texas-specific) laws about those, but a lot of states allow double closings and/or assignable contracts.

That's especially true since you likely need to take the same steps as opening the LLC (e.g. filing paperwork with the PA Department of State, amending the operating agreement, filing fees, etc.). 

Wait for confirmation (30 days or so) and once the loan is out of the foreclosure department record the deed into your LLC.

I went to court, showed that the rent was paid current, negotiated with his atty to pack and depart. 

I recently requested a tax delinquency roll of properties in the county from the treasury & tax department.
