Purchase price: $120,000 Cash invested: $12,800 This property was purchased from an owner who was tired of being a landlord.

The new draft zoning ordinance of Gaithersburg, which, for full disclosure, my mom has worked for the planning department my entire life, is out with an interesting wrinkle: they will not only allow ADUs but also have no owner-occupant requirement.

I am a home owner looking for a tax professional who can help me get maximum tax deductions on my home.

The owners kept on adding these weird additions till the 2000s.

It's because they do spray and pray marketing and stupid text and call blasts instead of doing the on-site research on absentee owners.

Here in Texas the previous owner has 6months to 2 years to redeem with a penalty to reclaim the property. 

But I don't believe those risk apply to me because I plan be an owner occupant, I have a pretty good credit score (720)  and a combine income with my spouse of 70K (no children yet). 

The current owner or the new owner would have to evict them

I was offered a home by an owner that no longer wants the house.

The owner has kept poor records and gave me a fumbling handwritten description of rent paid and vacancies to pass on to the bank.
