Is there a way we could co-sign on a mortgage, or simply have the title to the home in his name and I transfer a potential down payment directly to him?

The deed took 30 days to transfer during which time the owners moved.

I handed the auctioneer my certified check and ID. 

In order for me to transfer the lease to my name I have to build a 300 sq ft structure on the property so that she is not transferring undeveloped land to me (a policy to make sure people live and build on the land and not just sell after receiving it).

When you are ahead on a winning streak already, don't leave the table too early, just keep betting it until you lose one hand, then grab the chips and leave the table after you lose that one hand. 

The property had been a quadplex for more that 50 years but can be easily transfered to a duplex or I can go through with a special use permit along with being granted a variance for parking because it's on a small corner lot.My question is that the planning department is requesting a lease to be signed by me. 

@Paul Papamarkos yea they were trying to sell everyone hands on classes.

A bird in the hand is worth a lot more than all the birds in the bushes.

Hi Joe,There are a handful of great agents in Spokane i meet them because I constantly look for off market deals and refer clients their way that would be better suited with a listing.  

As a Contractor, we do not not like to have to keep negotiating prices, waiting for material that was ordered by the investor or waiting for another contractor that the investor saved $500 on from our bid, Hire a Contractor to do the job, know what you want before hand and do not make changes.
