this argument is even easier to make with you living in the property. call your auditor or treasurer to find out if they do have a way to do a no-fee transfer.in my state on IN, if this was my situation, I would buy and borrow in my own name, transfer it w/out consideration to a Land Trust after closing (including a notice to the auditor NOT to remove the exemptions as the "beneficial interest resides herein"), use my sub-s corp that owns no significant assets to manage the property (and have on file a real management agreement that I have signed as owner and as an officer of the sub-s) and finally, have that entity be the landlord for the leases to the other tenants.

Just registered on the state treasurer page and took a practice auction.

So, you want to become an Estate Treasure Hunter!

So, the realtor says that the owner had planned to knock out the pantry and put in a spiral staircase to access the room [a ladder is used now] As my six year old self starts pondering the possibility of an old chest hidden there with a map that leads to great treasure [yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!]

(St Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Shores, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin). 

There is a treasure trove of information, but, and this is a sad comment to make, you still need to trust your own judgment.
