garage: If you forgot to get permits for your renovation, just sell "as is." - 09/22/09 10:17 PM
I've often thought that it's a sham that banks can get away with foreclosing on a property and then selling it "as is." I think states or the federal government should pass a law forcing anyone who disclaims knowledge of the property because they haven't lived in it to get … (8 comments)
