Hi guys... we purchased a commercial building and already moved a few walls and added a few electrical outlets... my question is NOW after we realized that we need the Certificate of Occupancy what is the best route to go for obtaining the right permits to get the CO? 

The minimum requirements for example are:3x rental incomeGood references from past landlordsCurrent landlord reference may be inaccurate so use the others to better judgeCheck income by calling manager and verifying job stability, etc.Credit score of 600+pass background checkDepending on your requirement, but no smoking is a good idea.Check them out on social media, understand their personality.Check their car to see how clean it is.A demanding landlord or one trying to move in earlier than you can Isnt a good idea.There’s honestly a lot when it comes to landlording.

It's an unfortunate thing that some people in the world think that is a normal and accepted course of action, due to social media. 

While social media may be the future in a lot of cases, I would have to disagree with that being your biggest platform.

Several times we have found them in the electrical outlets in the bedroom, paid for a chemical treatment for those spots and been fine.

Social media is a powerful tool that can be used for, and against you.

Miscellaneous other items (i.e. loose faucets, some outlets not working, sliding back door jammed, etc)The seller offered us a $5k credit, however we think it should be much higher (around 10K).

I would use Craigslist, Ebay, Zillow, Trulia, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and any other outlets you can think of.

Essentially what @Omar Khan is trying to explain is that the high prices are due to very high demand and the only way that the market will collapse is if the demand disappears, which I cannot see happening with our high immigration rate and while ever everyone still only wants to live in the capital citiesDon't be fooled by the media speculation and articles posted on news sites etc about the "bubble burst" and "housing crash". 

I have not been on ESPN but would be seen on bassmaster.com, ive been on a radio show, lots of social media and locally in the area at tournaments
