Was the work permitted?

I assume you have checked with both the planning commission on zoning and the building department on permits, right?

. ($175/mnth).Challenges would be: finding a good area to build (would need to be near/within a city in a decent enough location); permits & legal issues; and finding buyers if I ever do this (though I'm hoping that the no-money down 10-year financing will be enticing; I would check for proof of income instead of credit history).

No matter what you think you know, there will be surprises.Case in point, I go to apply for permits for a remodeling job on my first rental.

When you apply, you'll need to disclose the loan your made, otherwise you are looking at loan fraud.If in your deal the seller has 35% equity, the best thing is for him to carry that back as a second, if that is permitted by the lender.

My understanding of the law in Ohio is this: The use of deadly force is permitted in cases where you feel you are in immenent danger of severe bodily harm or death and you have no available recourse to flee the situation.

The agreement should also indicate that alterations in the past - ten years ago - according to building permits have been implemented.

And I am pretty certain Chicago no longer has R2 designation.If it is a non-conforming 3 flat, it can be an issue when you get a building permit or during the triennial tax assessment or any number of situations.

If she says it was "revamped" three years ago, there should have been permits.

You can form a relationship with a title company and get property profile reports and even full blown reports, including previous permits for free so long as you give them your business.
