The GIS map designates it as a single-family dwelling, but the property is clearly set up as two units, with separate HVAC, electrical systems, etc.My main question is: Would it be possible to obtain a permit to legally convert it into a two-unit property?

How can we go about getting a clean title, no problem selling with sellers having access to the barn that has the property line going through it? 

I live in MN and fully trusted my original realtor when he said it was a great area and I bought right after the hurricane so every corner had garbage and debris waiting for city pick up, now a year removed, it's much clearer that my neighbors are not interested in cleaning up their properties as other areas are now. 

Have a 1960s 30 unit single story motel where we are coming up on some end of life issues: the cast iron plumbing is disintegrating underneath bathrooms, radiators are starting to leak, electrical is in poor condition, and just today, discovered significant termite damage affecting multiple rooms.

We leave it on full time and have our cleaning people drain it after each stay.

more info: At this point I'm satisfied with all other aspects of the application and credit/background check came back clean and excellent. 

Get rid of them as quickly as you can or you will face bigger problems down the road.The deposit is for cleaning and damages after the lease is over.

Work that my accountant did to clean up my Schedule E.  

Tax sales just wipe out junior encumbrances, they do not guarantee clean title.  

It also seems to be more common in some areas of the country more than others (due to much older construction in the region, higher exposure to harsher climates, older electrical and plumbing running through the home, etc.).
