Dividends from life insurance are treated like no other income in the tax code.

My lastest rental fixed with the grosse pointe zip code with all their amenities but a Detroit property is B class.

The part of the contract that worries me is that the mortgage contingency was checked, and does not appear to have language allowing a unilateral change - "this agreement will not be altered, changed, amended, or modified except in writing executed by both parties".That said, the contract also states that the seller "will have all heating and all utilities (including fuel(s)) on for all inspections/appraisals".

I know that some of my local utilities require a township code inspector to conduct inspections if utilities were turned off.  

There's no difference in the "gray area" as both LLC and sole proprietorship are acceptable business entities under the IRS code.

To get my local data I need to talk to my Realtor.All RE is very local, not just to the zip code and neighborhood, but when you boil it all the way down it's the individual property because each property is unique in itself.

County liens stay as well such as code enforcement liens.

The inspector said they were grandfathered in vs. newer codes. 

Would be a real shame if you an upstanding citizen looking out for his community noticed code violations and informed the city.....

The landlord can enter the property at reasonable times on 24-hour notice to the tenant to:1) Inspect the property;2) Make repairs, alterations, or improvements;3) Supply services;4) Show the property to prospective buyers, mortgage lenders, contractors, or insurers.B.
