Hi Shay in Atlanta, Georgia-You are planning to renovate an unfinished basement, close up a carport/renovate into a living space, and convert a closed garage into a living space and wonder if you need to obtain permits.It looks like you are planning to live in the property and rent out rooms to others or house hack.I would always get permits for the following reasons.1.

Plenty of 50-60% leverage loan options for developable land, and may still be more marketable to the LP if you went that route even if it meant incurring some additional finance charges.

I'm house hacking rn.

We had a tenant HUD approved Section 8 where we had 12 people ina 4 bedroom house. 

If the other two parties want to flip a house maybe they can do just that as partners and then sell you the house which you can buy with a primary home loan with low down payment.

The markets have changed quickly, and what worked 5 years ago may differ significantly from what will drive success today.

I guess with certain markets its achievable!

Parking lots, truck, parking lots, RV and trailer storage, storage units.Does anyone have good information on how to perform market analysis for these kinds of investments?

Cleveland and Dayton can be great markets for high cash flow and low purchase prices, but you need to be careful when navigating the neighborhoods so you're not buying in a D/F class area where no property managers will manage and where you'll never see any positive cash flow.

They specialized in concrete tilt up, but did a lot of time and materials work for a self made real estate tycoon who owned a lot of Federal Way.Along the way I got my CPA license and practiced in several differing sectors including doing some work with low income housing projects.As far as my start in RE, it was with buying my first personal SFR and later moving to a new residence.
