For the security deposit, let them sort that out.

Worst ADU addition appraisal occur where there is no zone MF in the vicinity.  

In my book (not yet written, in case you ask), this is the worst kind of advice.

You might study up on this Atlanta business that is growing their business with private offerings (funding)   padsplit.comThey have a shades of gray solutoin for the unrelated adults, and rooming house zoning that is sort of working in the Atlanta area.   

Also, I'm not sure why you'd want to buy close to the station, as that would probably one of the worst places where you could buy IMHO.Hope this helps.

You may end up needing to go through the whole foreclosure process which can take a lot of time and cost a lot of money, and you may end up getting the property back in much worse condition than when you sold it, potentially with a squatter in it and months of lost rent, and in a worst case scenario you will be in a much worse position than if you had just sold it outright. 

I think this is the first step so they can know who has the lead pipes before they pass a local ordinance to require the replacement at the property owner's expense.It's a "first registration, then confiscation", of sorts.

Worst case scenario is where a seller does a lipstick on a pig repair such as just parging over it and then not disclosing the issue because you might get the sale price but open yourself to future liability when something happens.
