We had a satisfactory arrangement -- she's been there long-term, is low maintenance, and only one person in a large condo.

You've turned the duplex into an SFR, let them figure out the living arrangements.

That entails both money and time, and she may not have had the opportunity to expend either within 5 days of the divorce.Were I in your shoes, I'd engage an attorney to draft the quit claim deed, inform the ex to contact the attorney's office and arrange a time for her to go sign, and that would be that. 

Also, your first lender may balk at said arrangement immediately after closing.

I'm looking for help analyzing this creative sale arrangement.

@Lena Claybon I have an arrangement with my personal bank (small & local).

This gives you time to arrange for repairs.  

Some individuals say yes as long as you can prove you made prior arrangements, appointments, etc. and other says you can only write-off these expenses after you actually own property in that location.Does it make a difference if you make the travel purchases as part of your personal assets or on behalf of an LLC?

Such arrangements can be relatively simple, vastly complicated or anything in between.

Hi Monica, can you be more specific about what the arrangement you envision would look like?
