First, I am going to have to research this about Colorado...to answer your question from my views, no, it is wrong to tell anyone what they can or can't do in their own homes! I bought a half of duplex and we do have homes assoc. but I will never be told what to do in my own house...I am also a taxpayer! The witch hunt on this Smoking Ban has gotten out of hand! Citizens are going to have to stand up and be counted...whether you smoke or not, it is not the real issue..it is the gov't and their under-classmen who have decided to start and approve some of these absolutely wrong laws. What's next? How many kids you are allowed to have? How much you can drive your car? We are allowing all the commercials on TV which endorse all the "call your doctor for a RX" and all of the medical ones that are trying to get people hooked on prescription drugs! I hope everyone wakes up and sees what it is doing to our country. We have gotten away from the greatness that this country was built on...Back to the question...I don't see how they can ban owners from smoking in their own condo...I quess they would be buying mine back for a hefty price...I can't believe that this was ruled admissable in the court system. Isn't Colorado, the same state that is banning smoking but also trying to legalize pot? Go figure...wierd...I'll be anxious to hear all the answers. Great question!

Depending on your state the regulations are different... In colorado (where I am) and in many other states, you can get into mortgages easily.  You can apply with any mortgage broker for the job.  It pays quite well, but is usually pretty tough-as-nails sales.  If you have sales experience, you will find it easier.  If your state requires licensing for it, most community colleges will offer certifications in things like that and real estate.\nGood Luck!

i am in AZ and local law and custom will prevail.  what you have is adverse possession.  these things are controlled by time frames such as to close the Ingres/egress off it needs to be open and notorious and done like for 24 hours every 7 years.  there should be a time frame in the 7 to 10 year range that they would have had to close off physical access.  physical access is different then legal access.  most areas require physical access to all lots.  your best bet is to contact first a local real estate broker who specializes in land not in houses, it will be under commercial real estate in the phone book. he can answer most questions. but you will be in court to get it done, and the real estate guy will know the right lawyer.  this is a highly technical area of law make sure you get someone who does this for a living, a divorce lawyer will not be much good

yes he can - one has to go to the RBI and apply. He has to certify (and probably prove) that the money to be used for the purchase of the property has been brough in from outside the country.\n\nThere is a specific form at the RBI for such an application.

The only thing I can imagine you're talking about is pot, and no you can't take that to another state. In fact, you can't really have it in the state you're in, because it is against federal law.

Call a realtor.  Each state has own website for things like this.  Might be under your city's name; county's name, etc.  Try local Country Treasurer first.

Yes, If you chose to move out legally you would be able to unless there is a clause in your contract or mortgage that states that you must reside in the property for a certain amount of time

What you are referring to is adverse posession, which is part of common law and thus exists in all of the common law states. Giving you the exact details of the laws in all of the states would be time consuming, so if you give me the state you're in, I can get you more detailed information. The long and short of it is that in order to claim adverse posession, you must have "actual, visible, hostile, notorious, exclusive, and continuous possession of the property" for a certain length of time, depending on the state, and in some states make a claim of right to the land.\n\nEdit:\nIn Arizona, adverse possession requires 3 years if under title or color of title, 5 years if recorded in a deed and paying taxes on the land, but without title, and 10 years if you are simply using the land, and it cannot be more than 160 acres. In Colorado, there is an absolute limit of 18 years, but the law is somewhat more complex than in Arizona. See the last link below.

Actually, nearly every state has laws that govern a legal concept called "adverse possession".  Adverse possession is a legally recognized way to gain title to someone elses land over time.\n\nThe requirements are very strict in most states, but it usually involves an "open and notorioius" possession of the land by the "squatter" to the exclusion of the owner over a period of years.  The number of years is a matter of state law.  Some states, like California, also require the squatter to pay the property taxes during the period of possession.  If you meet those requirements, you may still need to file a quiet title lawsuit to get legal title to the property.  You need to consult an attorney in your state for further information.\n\nThis concept is completely different from the idea of purchase property at a tax lien sale.  Both exist in most states.

His ownership of it may not be transferrable to you unless they own it as a tenancy in common.  And even then, his share going to you may not guarantee you the right to live in the home.   \n\nIf they own it as joint tenants, it's basically one dies, the other one becomes full owner.  You get nothing.  \n\nYou really need to see a real estate attorney in your area to find out your rights and what you should do.

you don't really have the right to live there, but after paying taxes for 3 years, you can apply for a Tax Deed through the County Treasurer's office.\n\nSomeone would have to complain about you living there, such as the owner, but the odds are that no one cares since taxes are owed, and probably other debts and liens.

VERMONT, MASSACHUSETTS. It is only legal if you live there. if you move to kansas they will not recognize your marriage. \nSo if you like cold weather, you and your gal can move to vermont or mass. You also will be allowed to add her as a spouse to your medical policy, life insurance policy, and all that...\nOne of my older friends just married her girl. They have a house together and all that good stuff.\nI wish you well!

it depends on where you live and the laws about martial assets there. Also what monies you would be using to buy the house.\nIf the money comes from outside the marital assets like an inheritance than yes you can do it. You would want to have a legal document signed by your soon to be ex spouse waiving all claim to the property.

Denver is a pretty big city, population 4 to 5 million people now (including surrounding area). I wouldn't live there by choice. I live on the other side of the state in Grand Junction (just over 100,000 people), and it's a great place to raise a family. If you're looking for something closer to Denver I'd go with Colorado Springs (south of DEN), or Fort Collins (north of DEN), but they are both pretty good sized cities as well.
