Land is responsible for pest control outside the building and public area of the building.

Do you have any public information available on this "dispute", just curious. 

I also provide my services to a family that wasn’t able to obtain a mortgage from a bank.

if repairs are not made or the COC is not obtained in short order you can lose the rent as well.Hiring a lawyer is a waste of money at this juncture and you should put all of  your resources into fixing this home up, getting the COC and do things properly. 

I am still hoping to be able to reschedule the new house settlement soon if I can just close out the refinance and have the funds disbursed.Later in the day on Thursday I was told that the mortgage company had obtained the disaster insurance certificate and my loan was in final underwriting and could potentially close Friday or Monday.

Since there is no custodial requirement for the 401k, you don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to obtain checkbook control.

Even after using a contractor and obtaining private financing to get a traditional mortgage the property was appraised at a much higher value then our all in costs were after the rehab.it can be done even from a distance.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you have about obtaining financing to purchase your first out of state property.

We had to refinance in order to pull out cash to purchase his share, and Zillow now shows the amount we paid for his share as the most recent sale price, so clearly it is public record. 

To my understanding as well, obtaining financing for a foreclosed home can be difficult.
