duplex construction steps and procedures

[Zaid Badabwan]

Hello everyone

I have been investing in multi family rentals for few years now. One of my properties is zoned for higher number of units than the existing duplex. I have just started initial plans and would like our experts in BiggerPockets to lead me to the process. Do i sign building contract and the contractor takes care of permits or do I get the permit first and then find a contractor.

I talked to my lender and they want me to get permits first and come back to them.

Your advice and experience will greatly help me with my project and will appreciate any ideas and opinions.
