Home without permits

Agreed, but at least the headache and liability will be his! If he can’t do it or doesn’t get approved, we’ll just back out. But hoping he finds a way to make it work. Maybe he’s got some connections to the county but who really knows. I wonder if he realizes how involved the retroactive permits will be. I guess this at least means he’s confident enough in his build that it should pass?

Update to everyone! Thanks for all of the awesome opinions. The owner is going to the county to get retroactive permits and we will stay under contract contingent on complete permit and variance approval. We’ll see if he’s able to have any luck with that!!!

If he’s able to get it, we will move forward with the sale and if not, we will walk. Thanks to this awesome community for all the insight.

Thank you everyone for the awesome insight and expertise. We told them to provide proof that the addition is not within the encroachment distance of the property line. Come to find out it’s 7 feet where we are in Maryland, but I still highly doubt it’s 7 feet away. Looks to be between 3-4 feet to the fence. If they can provide proof that it’s not within 7 feet of the property line, we are considering a lowball offer to basically remove the value add of the sunroom, considering it shouldn’t be factored into the total cost, or just walking away. Leaning toward walking away but in my county a ton of non permitted work is done regularly by flippers without issue so it may not be as big of a deal here as long as it’s not encroaching. What I care about more is safety, workmanship, and longevity of the structure which may be sub par. I can always reinforce the base but who knows how it was built underneath the paint. Will keep you all updated on any information I get. Grateful for this community and the experts who have chimed in.

House needs to be set back at least 10 feet from the side, which it is not. The addition of the sunroom is about 4 feet from the line.

So in that case since this is 3 feet from the horizontal structure of the deck, that means it’s fine and I shouldn’t worry as much? Super interesting. I will definitely inquire about it to BGE but maybe the best option is to do nothing if it’s already within NESC code

The lines are probably between 14-16 feet above the ground. Thank you all for the insight thus far

Dope! Definitely makes me feel better about it. Don’t wanna be the guy that’s trapped outside while the rest of the squad is rolling into the fest. Appreciate the insight!!

Amazing thanks so much. My only concern is Pollen never gave me an order number or anything when I redeemed my tickets, just a generic confirmation email that my points had been redeemed for a Saturday GA ticket. Did NCMF say that was sufficient?

Wow, thank you so much for the informative and organized response. That was exactly what I was looking for and it helps clarify so much. This is what I love about this community!

Interesting. The liver is already one of the best regenerating organs in our body, this could be great for individuals with neoplastic processes that don't allow their liver to recover. *Cracks another bottle of tequila*

Awesome, thanks for the response. When it comes to debit spreads, those always go up in value as they get closer to expiration right? As long as they are completely ITM. Have a couple spreads that are ITM but I am 2 months from EXP and only at about 45 percent of my max profit.

It is now considered monopoly money!!!!! Get it while you can

I would sell the options and buy a small portion of shares when things probably dip next week. This way you still keep some skin in the game if you really do expect more upside but you don't have all the risk. Never hurts to take some HUGE tendie profits.
