The county inspector, combined with the building inspector, and zoning department will know about this and building density allowed as well.Chances are, if the system is only 17 years old, it is probably built very close to current standards, and probably has years of reliable service remaining.

@Samuel J Claeson,You can, and it should be the reasonable rate you'd pay someone to do the job, I'm guessing $10-15/hr as it's just dump/trash removal services.     

The $651K I'm reading directly of the mortgage servicer's monthly statement. 

You can also meet contractors, handymen, subcontractors and other service professionals should you guys decide to do some rehab projects to build up some more capital.Feel free to reach out if i can be of any help, best of luck to you guys!

BP,I need the services of a licensed general contractor in RTP, NC.

there are some services, but you end up with garbage and a general real estate submittal email.  

@Daniel Garcia There is a service called keypls.

Just received an email from them notifying me that they are going to shut of the service in 10 days and they might need me to "provide the access to the property, if my tenants wouldn't cooperate."

Chris, I haven’t used First United for a duplex, but do have experience working with them on traditional mortgages and to be honest I’m not surprised they got their info wrong, their knowledge and customer service isn’t the best (and their website isn’t user friendly at all) I would definitely talk to other banks.

Thanks for your service on the force and congrats on the retirement.
