First, I would definitely run your foundation guy through unless there's absolutely no evidence of foundation movement.

It's evident from your questions that you don't yet understand the process (no offense meant, Maria, just an observation) so don't try to do this on your own without knowing what you are doing, or having someone in your corner who does.

The detective has been working on the case and is collecting evidence to go to the state to put him back in jail.Also, I called the insurance company from the policy that he gave me and they told me that this is not a valid policy.Lesson Learned - Always call the insurance company to confirm!!!

However, in such a case, there would actually be an agreement in which case the cashed check would not provide any substantial evidence above and beyond a signed agreement.The silver bullet to this, I would think, would be to search legal case history and see if the "cashed check" scenario was ever upheld in court.

I could be wrong, but that's my understanding...Jason, I'm sure you are correct, it only becomes necessary for others to comply with applicable regulations and law, by others, as with lenders, Realtors and closing agents, it's by involvement with other aspects of a transaction that the filing becomes necessary, to perfect a security interest, to evidence a sale for a commission earned or to close a transaction in compliance with ALTA.An example of not filing a deed is in connection with estate planning, where a deed might be held in escrow by an admistrator, by a will, where it could be filed after death.

The only way you could justify the current home as a viable rental is if you had strong evidence that appreciation was just beginning and that you could expect housing values there to skyrocket.

Yeah I suppose I'll have to ask, I think I have some good evidence that they were living there, lots of letter, prescription drugs, kid's report cards with the address. 

still hold these for incomeI am not going to argue with the bank and their valuation, if they value it at $200,000 there must be evidence of sales, as they are looking at recent sales comps including sq ft, land component etc.I am a simple person, I target markets that are rising, and look at value.

(Prefer copper, concerned about evidence of rodents in crawlspace and potential for chewing hole causing leak for PEX, but PEX might even be main/only option based on what available plumbers will do, copper might be too difficult/dangerous under crawlspace?

We received this email on Friday, September 8th and they said we had to have photo evidence of the repairs done by Monday September 11th or our policy would be cancelled.  2).
