Rehab Permitting

Kevin Stablier

Hi folks!

In my jurisdiction, and I'm sure it's common in most others as well, any rehab over $50,000 in cost requires permitting and a contractor's license if your are legal entity.  If you are filing as an individual, the individual can pull one such permit every 2 years if the intent is to occupy the property as a primary residence.  Now obviously I want do more than one rehab every 2 years, so my question is what method do you use to get around this hurdle?  I know not everyone out there has a contractor's license when doing rehabs.

Thanks,

Kevin
