Another afternoon, at the Maryvale court, a teenage couple and one of their mothers discussed strategy in the hallway, fussing over a thick stack of documents.

Thanks to @Jay Hinrichs for looking at those documents.

That's how it's done.....If a Contractor loses their License, Insurance or Bond, they can't legally work and they all know it.

If their performance drops, it requires much documentation, performance reviews, fix it plans, etc. etc. because if we fire them without heavy documentation, now we pay unemployment. 

It was written legally that I am able to purchase the house from the trust for the original purchase price.

Financially, the numbers make sense, but I need to have a proper inspection since this is my first home (and I'm going unrepresented) and the house is built in 1915 with some renovations that were clearly done by the investor selling the property rather than a professional.Question: Although  previous owner has owned the property for 3 years and rented to tenants previously, should I be concerned that the legal zoning is only for SFH?

I wonder if Realtor dot com is licensed then in all 50 states.. so they can legally take a slice of the commish ?

And, if so, what the project costs for creation of the documents needed to do the project might be.   

You need to consult your local laws to see what the legal amount of time is and decide for yourself if that's "reasonable."

Are you up to date on all of your licensing and permitting to legally rent this duplex?
