Yes, you can sell it.Sometimes Peoria will grandfather a duplex and refer to it as a "legal nonconforming" single family zoned property with duplex as permitted use.If this is the case the new owner will be able to legally and officially use it as a duplex.I have also heard of people finding an architect to declare that the house was originally built as a duplex, which would help you get it rezoned as multi-family and duplex as permitted use.PM me for more info.

I have a $20,000 debt to the IRS, which I am paying off at $381 per month due to high taxes declared two years in a row to qualify for a mortgage.My goal is to build a portfolio of properties that pay for themselves.

As mentioned above: if you paid some sort of “bribe/incentive” to the seller  you’ll need the receipiant’s social security number and they’ll need to declare the income. 

thats why an outsized proportion end up in bankruptcy, or criminal charges for fraud file against them.my final note is that when lawsuits are filed against someone and they don't bother answering the suit and allow a default judgement to arise, then they're just waiting for most suits to be filed so they can declare bankruptcy.  

So your not waiting for a judge to declare the sale good or any other process of law.. its done the minute you hand over the check.. you also do not need to put up a deposit to bid.. you have to put up the FULL AmOUNT of minimum bid as stated above in a cashiers check.. this really cuts down on competition of course.

I am curios if you declare anything to the city after you did that for the official record ?

Interest rates, bankruptcies from moratoriums, etc?

In the last 30 days the tenant could have initiated a bankruptcy, had an eviction added to their record, been sent to collections by a creditor, etc.

This would likely lead to a bankruptcy filing, and depending on the facts surrounding the incident involving the car, the obligation may not be dischargeable.Good point.

Since I can operate in any class it would be intelligent for me to assess them both as opposed to declaring Id rather have 4 than 20.
