I had the inspector do a walk-through with me prior to purchasing so I pretty much knew already what to expect; however, today was the official inspection so he obviously got to study the extent of the issues he had previously found.

Is it official?

This is officially my 2nd post in the BP Forums.

I have two scenerios in my head, both of which are probably far from reality. 1) The large bank announces it will sell of x number of pools, on a certian date.

We are gonna try to have BiggerPockets meetups every few months in the area, so be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts for words like "Seattle" or "Portland" so when those terms are mentioned (like when new members join or we announce a meetup) you'll be notified.

See this 6/18/13 article from the Detroit News, "Downtown Detroit rents go through roof":"Detroit — Residential rent prices in the gentrifying neighborhoods of Detroit are steadily marching upward, climbing in some cases by $3,000 more per year for the same place, and landlords are pushing them higher at every opportunity.That’s because the rent is still too low for buildings to pay for themselves without relying on government subsidies and foundation dole, developers and city economic officials contend.

If your city doesn't have an official agency like a land bank then I would go to the town hall and start asking around.

Steven, did you see the announcement yesterday of the reduction in Army troop levels in the coming years and Fort Carson will be reduced by one brigade?

However, the house is NOT officially listed yet - as we have not finished our renovations.

The main reason I am concerned about zoning is just because I will be claiming this as official income (instead of just having my friends pay me in cash or beer or whatever) I don't want something to come back to bite me later if they go to check on all these things.
