I heard that if a house is listed in the county appraiser website as a 2/1 (for example), but someone did an unpermitted "garage to a bedroom" conversion to make it a 3/1, that when you eventually sell the house the agent is required to still list it on the MLS as a 2/1.

I've read that some counties or areas have a code requirement that the garage door (leading into the house) be the kind that swings shut automatically, in case someone leaves the keys in the car ignition with the car running by accident and carbon monoxide fills the house.

What I don't get is our lender is the one who does the appraisel on it and I can't believe it won't appraise for that.Its almost 2000 sqft 4 bedroom 2 full bath 3 car garage and only need scarpet and paint cleaning and thats pretty much it.

My neighbors home to my right was broken into while he was on vacation and they stole his Durango that was in the garage.

I would have thought the taxes in 1 street would all be similar (all being equal brick 3br 1 bath basement + garage) –Surely this must be true, how could different amounts be justified?

IMO.IMO, You just can't try to match an interior style that contradicts the style of the home....traditional should be triditional, a ranch should be "ranchy" and contemorary done in a more modern design.

Let's say the tenant hit the garage door with the car, it's an accident and the landlord has no recourse to hold the tenant responsibile!

It has happened here in Portage, but the guy with the garage sale lived!

I know that there is a management company working for us...but no tenants.Problem #2Since the house has been vacant, we have received letters from the management company about vandalism including windows shattered, and busted garage doors.

The world is becoming more industrialized, more populated, more in demand of modern technology.
