We are going to propose a seller-financed-type deal to his grandmother  as a way to keep the home in the family, but don’t really know where to start.

If held for 10+ years you get all of the benefits of the legislation and as you said, all of your gains would be wiped out if sold (actual language is that your basis is increased to the FMV of the property on the date of sale).

They are obligated to tell you the truth but only if you ask.3) Reading up on local legislation, so you know if something in the market is shifting.

What if you propose to perform the cut between midnight and 6AM, and then cover the cut with a steel plate during daytime hours?

imo you definitely want a lawyer to at least review your proposed course of action. 

i don't think the new proposed laws help me or hurt me. 

Wishful thinking.So, never mind that I never did any business with RLC - which then makes this call illegal, per se - where do you people get off calling someone at 6:04 am their time with your business proposals?

All parcels on that block are split as 2 R1 lots just as I am proposing.

I just don't understand the rationale toward large scale rent control occurring across the nation other than legislators passing something that sounds good to voters but in reality has very little historical data showing it actually improves anything.
