Expect it, and remember, a "hoarder" is now designated as a somewhat protected class (disability) so DO NOT mention that word in any of your conversations or documents. 

I once bought a house in a tattoo shop because I was stationed in the middle of no where and he was the only notary for 100 miles.

I know my electrical utility also has a special procedure designed for landlords where I could (though I usually don't) have an address set up to automatically switch back to me when the tenant's "stop" order goes through. 

Hand scraped hardwood floors in all main areas. 9ft smooth ceilings, Cer.Tile in laundry/ baths, beautiful kitchen design w/ custom cabinets w/ bead board backing, featuring granite counters & Stainless Steel App package + Lg Kit Island.

New Herringbone design porcelain tile in baths w/ tile new tile highlighting the garden tub, New Tile around Fireplace.

I'm frugal and have an eye for design.

The money you spend up front will more than pay for itself considering the amount of problems you will avoid in the future.Also, the $15,000 per year limit applies, BUT you have the lifetime exclusion and if you make gifts along the way that are over the $15,000, you can have a CPA file a gift tax return for you and designate some of your lifetime exclusion limit toward the excess amount of the gifts she made.Plain and simple, you need to do 2 things:1) Talk to and probably hire an elder law attorney2) Talk to and probably hire a CPA who is familiar with filing gift tax returns.

Amazing rehab and design work! 

Our design & development team is looking for more contractors to work with due to the volume of SFR projects we have.

Like getting tattoos, this got me hooked.
