Brecht Palombo also has some great stuff out there for your note education.

I hope to have multiple properties under this entity, so changing equity split to compensate based on one job at one property doesn't seem to fit the bill.

Each side would then have an ARV of 525-550, if we cant convert back then it changes the ARV drastically to only 600k.Again the property is located in a historic area which has a lot of restrictions.My question is, exactly how hard would it be to get the permits to change the property back into 2 units and also how long would this take?
