I am feeling a bit excited, and a bit overwhelmed, as we just closed on our first property this week!    We found a small 2bd/1 several weeks ago on the MLS, first day on market and we put under contract after looking...

The city building official said the city inspects for code compliance but not bad design -- hardly reassuring in light of the municipal fees that drive up home costs everywhere.

She would have had to have warned me with an official certified letter that the tree was dangerous.  

Third is to get an official estimate when the house is under contract, because unless you have a really good contractor friend, people will probably stop giving you free estimates.

A C/O signifies what is officially approved, so the utility is telling me, if you're allowed two occupants legally, then you'll get two meters.

My guru friend asked me to help recently and I officially resigned and had to decline the offer. 

Even if they move out before the eviction date, I'd highly consider still having the eviction happen so that the sheriff (or whoever shows up) still signs off on the official paperwork.Then consider the time it'll take you to get the place rent-ready again.You might need to inform your applicants that the unit will possibly not be ready in time.

I would take this one a step further and try to get a hold of the local building official or inspectors and ask them who they would use.

Using your rank without (ret.) automatically can be seen as a use of your official position.

Legally, she can't sign a purchase contract with you until she officially owns the property after probate is filed.The pre-lim report may or may not show debts from medical, but for sure with the SI title would be satisfied with that.
