Sellers situation - Seller doesn't live there, father (title is in fathers name) past away.  

It appears to be a great community and a tremendous source of information.I am 34, a homeowner, husband, father and IT professional, among other things.

My father-in-law who lives in Milwaukee and is helping me look for properties out there and he has forgotten more about Milwaukee real estate than most people will ever know.  

Here's a quick run down...My father purchased a ranch property back in the last boom.Purchased for about 1.5 Million.It's a horse property and one of the borders had an issue with us and to get back at us sent out Building and Safety.We come to find out that the property was purchased with the idea that all 2000 + Sq ft of residence was legal, we come to find out only 900 + Sq ft is legal, not even the pool is legal.They want us to bring everything up to code and draw up new plans reflecting such.Our realtor says we have a great case and can sue the previous owner, what can happen in this case has anyone ever experienced something like this?

My father has invested in real estate since he was 16 and I grew up helping him occasionally on his properties.  

Then got a job as a dispatcher at a company that my father worked at. learned a lot about the business and now work full time in the transportation/supply chain industry. 

hi guys and gals I have a question my father wants to buy a home for my sister he already has a mortgage with the VA he's a Vietnam vet he doesn't have extra cash on hand he does make very good money 120k a year and he's just started getting s.s. benefits at 1400 a month the home he wants is 125k and the seller is taking off 12k because we know them and it needs a roof and other cosmetic fixes so selling price is 113k my sister wants to do more rehab and give it an open floor plan so about 50k what loans will give us the purchase price plus rehab?

Hey Everyone,I'm in my thirties and run my deceased father's 5 unit, 1 store commercial property in North Jersey for my mother, who's currently the owner.

Check with your financial advisor if it makes sense to create a life estate and do some state planning on your father's behalf.

How much does your father know about build/sell?
