Third, as other's have mentioned, I simply can't see how any investor whoever it may be would every purchase any property in St Paul after this initiative, so there goes development, including that of new or renovated affordable housing, and also of entertainment, shops, etc, which attract the affluent into the city and stimulate the economy. 

If you ran the one for the new spouse you can do the same for the existing party.

Third post today! 

I knew it would increase, but I didn't realize the previous assessed value was based on a third of the FMV when I purchased the property. 

They did a drive by, took pictures, and I paid for it (deducted at closing), and took about one month.The third property I'm refinancing now is through SoFi and I paid for that with a credit card through their website, and they assigned one as well.

A lease (like any contract) can be renegotiated if both parties agree to the new terms.

The third floor is renovated and is rented with a lease for 1900. 

Hi @Summer Ramos - there is actually a new group forming called WiiRE which stands for "Women Investing In Real Estate" that meets on the third Friday of every month in SLO.

I would like to work my local market in California but what sellers ask for doesn't seem to leave me with any working deals and working direct to sellers/buyers out of state has its limitations.Would you advise to persevere in California working direct with parties or taking the virtual approach in a different market?

If your funds are from a third party, then you'd need a letter from that party outlining what they are providing you with, and if they have no official standing (like a bank), from where they have the ability to offer those funds.
