And I was on a few senate select committees in CA in the 80s purpose how to deal with these antiquated subdivisions that can never  be built but the lots are of legal record.

This is just a legal requirement making sure that we are both on the same page..." 

You may have legal recourse against them for this.

After that, we found a two flat with a legal coach house in the backyard instead of a garage.

Some of the tricks I use which are totally legal is the grandfathering NFIP rule or built in compliance.

Do your due diligence or ask a property or legal professional for help. 13.

THE SCENARIO: I've got a tenant couple breaking up, not yet divorced or legally separated. 

What I really like about this neighborhood is properties are cheaper but it’s still close enough to western you can pull the same quality/millennial tenants as properties just east of western that cost nearly twice as much. 2br 1ba 1st floor unit: $1300 – Keep as-is2br 1ba 2nd floor unit: $1550 (Will try $1600 first but to be conservative) – Keep as-is3br 2ba duplex unit: $2200 conservative depending how luxurious comps go up to $2500ish – RehabParking: $75x2 = $150 Total rents: $5200Purchase price: $530,000 with a $7500 closing credit + $20-25k for spiral stair case install and remodeling of attic = $542,500 at $5200 = .95% + added equity being a legal 3 with 3br 2ba now.

Personally I would just make sure he can convey title and that it doesn't have to go through a legal proceeding and push it out to July. 

and to review landlord forms I've downloaded from Bigger Pockets to ensure they meet MN legal requirements .Anyone have a referral for me?
