@Jeremy Slater your relative pulled equity from the house (a HELOC i assume...) prior to selling the property to you; which you financed through a traditional lender on a 20 yr. note?

This ordinance only permits four or more persons to live in any dwelling unit if they are members of a traditional family or the functional equivalent of a traditional family.

Loved hearing your story and you speaking Chinese ^^Best of luck in Wisconsin.
