My wife is a bit more risk adverse so we're going to start small and see how it works out.  

The most obvious items listing agents are supposed to disclose are "adverse material facts," such as the roof is Swiss cheese or the house sits on a sinkhole.But what is required and what agents should do can be a very different thing.

We had the long discussion on BP on adverse possession over it.

You are also very right that HOAs are on the way up, and that plumbing, for instance is often old and rusty, which means special assessments are potentially around the corner... nothing is easy but mucho adverse trade winds in Oahu I detect :)

If you are risk adverse real estate, (especially out of state) is not for you.

The way I read that, the seller could at any time in perpetuity come back and devalue the property by removing that structure.It sounds like you need an attorney to advise you on the best course of action, but at the very least, a claim of "adverse possession" is worth looking at.

Dodd - Frank and SAFE acts, rent credits (or any financing related incentive) could be sufficient for the CRA to treat the lease as an instalment sale - leading to an adverse tax situation for both you and the tenant/buyer.  

The attorney at the title company said if they cannot find the owner of record to sign a quit claim deed, he said the next option would be to file an adverse possession suit and quiet title action.  

How risk adverse are you and do you want hands off??
