Education is very important, so I’m taking a self taught course to get my permit tech certificate.

On the plus side now I will have a recorded Certificate of Occupancy with the city, as this property will be a long term hold for me most likely.

Then progress to permits and then building.You could also just do it and hope the city doesn't notice, which they probably won't.Your challenge will be getting Certificates of Compliance on the units!

The date you are able to take depreciation is when the property is ready for renting (i.e. advertising for rent or obtaining a certificate of occupancy).

If you know of anyone please refer it to me.My situation is that even though I have my STR certificate the OSE officers keep knocking on my door, the 1st time I was home and I talked to them, and because I had guests they didn't insist to get in.

Only a few simple documents are required, including a valid passport, birth certificate, and proof of address.

I'm also working on a Google Data Analyst certification to bring in some extra income while I'm home with our 19-month-old daughter.I'm still pretty new to this, though, and I'm not sure where to start or if I'm on the right track.

So I picked up a few books which includes, "The Book on Investing In Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Rental Property Investing," both by Brandon Turner, which introduced me to the BiggerPockets community.With a decade of experience in property management under my belt, along with my property management certifications and an NC real estate broker’s license (with Broker-In-Charge designation), I’m eager to leverage my background to secure long-term financial stability for my family.

Best, Kwanza   We just got our Certificate of Occupancy.
