Do we need permits for any additions to the house to be "official" on the MLS listing?  

I'll likely give it another few months before I officially thrown in the towel. 

Several times already, my realtor has called the seller or seller's realtor with our offer price instead of submitting an official offer.

Also, if the house is already listed for sale, would there still be realtor commissions to pay if this goes through, or would that hold off until the house is officially sold?

Hi Adam,In my experience, septic systems are regulated by your local building department, as well as the county health department.  

Is the parking spot officially "assigned" to the unit you are renting to him.

In addition there are elderly people in need of assistance by way of assisted living.Is it possible to approach a land developer (apartment or assisted living/health care) about entering into a 100 lease agreement whereby I make the land available under a lease but they develop the property, manage it, and maintain the operation?  

Tell them you want a title company involved or some official entity to hold the money.

We could not officially sign the papers until NASB turned over the money, but NASB would not turn over the money until we had signed the papers.Fortunately, we were able to get a short-term loan for the balance, officially buy the property, get the NASB mortgage, and then pay the short term loan back within a very short time frame.Now I want to buy another property with another friend using SD-IRA's and I don't want to go through the same process.

I've been working really hard to regain my health and strength.
