Got building permits.  

i know this is kind of an old thread, but just wanted to add a few things here: 1. yes you will have to go through permitting process. you will also register this as a SFH with the county.2. you will need to contact DMV to deregister this as a mobile home. 3. you will have to make sure you remove the Axel and the wheels  under the home and make preparations to fix the property to the foundation you already have. currently dealing with similar situation in GA, hence researched a bit to find out the process. 

In some instances you can still obtain a rental license, in other instances you need to submit a new use permit application, obtain a refusal and then seek the variance.

I’m confused by the PM’s statement that the property would be represented by two agents, which is not permitted.

I also noticed that I need to get a permit to run airbnb in Indiana which is less painful than the restrictions in Illinois.

This is often a driving factor behind overly hard permitting and building process (often 2-3 years for a permit for an SFR!).

We submitted for a remodel permit on February 1.

if you have to demo it all, way easier to have it done vs spending time or money and less surprises.very different project then 20 yr old cosmetic flips and may require a lot more permitting and upgrades since it's all open the building dept may want you to meet current code as much as possible.

That being said, there are also more financial risks and permitting is notoriously tricky.

Then I sent emails directly to Clayton Morris inquiring about a finish date and he responded by voice-male that permits were almost completed and that it should be 4 to 6 weeks and it would be "smooth sailing" as he characterized it.The house was never built, I've paid back-property taxes and fines of over Approx $1200...ongoing yard maintenance costs of anywhere from $40+ up to as much a $225 monthly for a vacant lot just to keep the city off my back with fines...etc..Bottom line is.....After having a nearly perfect credit score and credit record of 25+ years, I will be in Bankruptcy court in May, 2019 because I cannot afford the payback of the credit card funding because there is no house built (cash flow) and there is not a single attorney that I contacted who doesn't want $60,000 (up-Front) because they all say they can't do it on contingency because Clayton has so may law-suits against him already that they feel there will be little (if any) money left after all the litigants already in line have been paid.
