Our friends who is an RE agent was attacked years ago, and she said her RE agency started offering training classes for agents.Its an option if you feel comfortable with it and live in a place where its legal, which you do.

Or ideally a home that has a legal “Ohana” (family) house or permitted ADU( Accessory Dwelling Unit).

In addition to what you'll find, I just received a call today from an attorney in town who is putting together a major legal action against them. 

To entice often first time home buyers it offers a rebate where legal and home owners can sell it in selective US metropolitan cities at a steep discount for full services.

It's unlikely, but legally possible

They worked with the city, and the city issued the permit to operate it as a duplex. 

I think your first step is to call your county and find out whether this is possible, and what legal hoops you would need to jump to make it happen.

Your options will be limited, You can file documents that will allow you to go after bank accounts and garnishments but that gets more complicated and he may need legal advice to do that.

Everything from supplies, labor, contractors, permit fees etc.

I hope someone out there can and does help, I feel like there are plenty of other people that need to know this besides me.BP does not permit self permotion even on threads where people are asking.. thus people have to recommend someone they use, but after a while it gets old as it’s not their business to promote someone else’s business each and every time someone ask on BP...American Tracers is good, I’ve used them plenty, and it’s founder Corey Crane, is on the forum.
