I pulled out my pocket knife and was prepared to try and fight my way out ( I actually have 2 years animal shelter experience) and right before i went to make a move I looked the alpha dog in the eyes and told him to "sit the %#@^ down".   

If they do accidentally pay it, they will go back to the town and ask for a reimbursement, which will be something they have to fight out and will have nothing to do with you.

Once they're fixed up, retail buyers are fighting over them.If you try to save as much of the house as possible - like the windows, doors, and fixtures, you'll do even better.

Now if it was just you and an aunt to fight over it.....Good luck in what ever you decide.

Do you think they will just leave, or do you think they will put up a fight?

Nothing in this analysis should be construed as legal advice and relied upon, as each transaction must be separately analyzed.Further, I strongly recommend anyone seek independent legal advice on any specific transaction contemplated after January 10, 2014 prior to any consummation`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Dodd-Frank Summary The Dodd-Frank Act took effect January 10, 2014 and changes the rules for seller financing for those not qualifying as exempt.The most relevant changes are: Requires every lender to consider the borrower’s ability to repay the loan • Requires that lenders consider at least 8 factors applied against reasonable underwriting guidelines • The Lender must write a “qualified loan” • Requires lenders to wait at least 120 days of delinquency before foreclosing • Dodd-Frank combined with the SAFE Act in the various states, will require all owner finance transactions (except the exceptions) to be originated by a Residential Mortgage Loan Originator • Prohibits builders from selling with owner financing • Eliminates balloons and negative amortizing loans and requires fixed rates for 5 years with no prepayment penalties • Sellers who sell with owner financing more than 3 times a year will become mortgage originators and must comply with Dodd-Frank • No forced arbitration clause is allowed in the buyer’s noteQuestions & Answers � What information am I required to get from buyer to prove their capability to pay?

@Brie SchmidtAre you required to have a Lawyer fight them in Illinois?

How hard or easy is it to fight them?  

(BOTH want to own it one day-we'll let them fight that one out!)

Not sure how zoning/building codes apply here - I am in the process of finding 203k certified GC's (or CM with architectural capabilities) so haven't checked yet. 5.
