If they redtag you then you need to bring it to code with permit (70 West Hedding, planning dept).https://www.sccgov.org/sites/dpd/DocsForms/Documen...Sam ShuehCupertino, CA

One of the factors that I looked at was the building permits issued in 2017 for each MSA.

You’ll find these have identical layouts, making it very easy to renovate, easy for maintenance, and the basement can become storage and laundry for extra income.

@Pandu Chimata ,The gain on the sale of the property is not taxed until your 2018 taxes are due in 2019, but if you made a significant profit, you might want to ensure that your W-2 withholding, if you have a regular job, is enough to cover the extra taxes you owe on the profit or make estimated payments so that you dont pay any penalties for underpayment of taxes you owe when you file your taxes 2019. 

It already cost a lot to get the fumigation done and on top of that, I have to now fork out extra dough to fix the damage they did.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

House was built in 1914.Who needed building permits or inspections back then 

I was wondering, in case she doesn't pay her portion ( considering her portion is a large one) and I will need to evict her, will the eviction process be extra hard for me because of her disabled child in  Philadelphia, PA  Philly?

Im sorry but stupid money doesn't make money because if you pay more and increase your debt when you don't have to its not going to make as much money.So instead of paying double the price for a house I already bought and a bunch of extra interest and adding more debt I want to keep my original loan.If I keep my original loan and remove the mortgage insurance which is $94 a month and then rent it out it would cash flow a lot better than If I was to refinance. 

That was an extra $100 of my cash flow gone.
