I would like to be able to transfer her old 401K to our Solo 401K, so it would be worth including her officially in the business at least for that.  

OK...I think I'm officially scratching San Bernardino off the list.

@Raheel Chohan Welcome to BP officially.

I have heard that an elected official will never go against the will of the people (which is generally to let people rent their space to who they want to) but that the lobbyists earn their money in the fine print.

They are in the public records....the county Clerk Of Court, Official Records search. 

9/12 was the official COE used in all paperwork so all fees/interest/taxes started on this day.  

Do we need permits for any additions to the house to be "official" on the MLS listing?  

I'll likely give it another few months before I officially thrown in the towel. 

Several times already, my realtor has called the seller or seller's realtor with our offer price instead of submitting an official offer.

Also, if the house is already listed for sale, would there still be realtor commissions to pay if this goes through, or would that hold off until the house is officially sold?
