At this point I know they are not pulling permits. 

I’d like to connect with you and others about buying a home near Cold Springs (Toulumne County)  to turn into STRs (permit process, cash flow expectations, etc.).

Well, in the Springs, I just had a situation where the permits weren't closed for the basement work and it turns out the city was about to tell the sellers to pull out everything.In Denver, if you want to do Airbnb in your basement apartment, the city has been cracking down on STR licenses if they don't see a permit for the work.

I'm trying to decide between building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on my existing property (secured permit) and investing in a rental property in a cheaper market.

Meaning there were properties that were given permits to add units to pre-existing structures, but were not required to re-zone.

You may have to add an external door which you’ll definitely need a permit for.

Hi,I have a permit to build a 720SF ADU in Oakland.

Having engineering plans and calculations can streamline the permitting process, as many local authorities require this documentation for ADU conversions.I can't give an invoice estimate as I am not well versed in how engineers price their work, but I would assume something around $5,000 for engineering services on a project of this size.

It would be even better if we could get it zoned to rent out the house as a 3/2 and separately rent out the ADU as a 1/1.If anyone that sees this has done something like this in Columbus, we would love to get any info on how the process went, how much did the permits and inspections cost, etc.Also, if anyone knows whether or not we could even rent out an ADU through sec-8 that would also be helpful, as we will definitely consider using sec-8 to rent out the property if it can get us higher rents.We are going to be contacting the city's zoning dept right away to verify with them that this would even be allowed at this address, and to try and get a rough estimate of how much permits etc will cost us.
