The con to this approach is that in most cases, you need to know or have done business with your end investor buyer - who must have all cash - as a stranger to you may not be comfortable with you on their purchase contract and that you hold a portion (small as it may be) of the title until you do quit claim it over to them after the closing.This startegy works best if you are able to negotiate to choose your own escrow and title company to do the closing rather than the banks choice.

I was able to get permits to rebuild a 2 story addition once using this process in Baltimore county, I imagine you'll probably have success with it for just framing in a door.As far as the assessors are concerned, I don't imagine you'll have any problem, but then again stranger things have happened so I wouldn't dare say for sure that it will be ok.
