I hope this helps.Also Netronline.com is a good source to get info about a potential property, assessing public records. 

Hey all,So I am currently looking to offer on a home that has a basement divided up into two units (A studio and 2BR) with a main home on top.

Once your business has a track record, it becomes easier to separate the two. 

The county recorder did have the room as part of the square footage.

“The fact that homebuyer demand is setting new records as summer draws to a close leads me to believe that home prices have room to grow,” said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather.

What also helps is making a pro account at these material stores so that they keep a record of receipts and what was bought. 

It would be ideal if the current owner or his property mgr would handle this for you.I would also get a copy of the current lease for your records/review.You may want to discuss with a lawyer about what recourse you have with the seller.

So when I got home I searched tax records and mailed them a hand written letter.

We contacted the county health department and the water department: NO record of where the tank and drain field is located in their files but they both confirmed there is NO SEWER in the area.

Some adjustable loans jump crazy high when they adjust even if rates stay at these record low rates.
