Hi Adam, we do everything in-house from the permitting & architectural to the construction itself, so that removes a few variables.

I have never pulled a permit for a water heater swap, know no one that has ever pulled a permit for a water heater swap, ever seen or heard about one getting red tagged for no permit, and have never had a plumber recommend getting a permit.

I didn't, and the people at Eagle Rock, who approved permits and necessary utility connections, were not very cooperative, which made the process more stressful than it had to be.I've seen lots listed on Zillow and the Aggressive Real Estate web site. 

I’m curious to hear from other investors who have ventured into flooded properties such as what challenges did you face, particularly with insurance and permitting?

Recently I have been hearing about multiple hosts in Texas that are getting citations for operating a coliving facility with occupancy greater than the permitted number of unrelated occupants.

Yes, there is a ban on less than 30 day STRs within Ojai city limits, but it is my understanding that outside city limits you just need a permit with Ventura County, the same as Malibu.

I want to provide a safe, structured living environment for individuals transitioning out of recovery or other challenging situations.I’m new to this process and was hoping for advice on the following:How to navigate zoning laws and permits in Montgomery for this type of setup.Licensing requirements for sober living or group homes.Strategies for finding residents or partnering with local organizations.Financial and operational tips for managing this type of property.I’ve heard zoning can be tricky and want to ensure I comply with all legal and safety requirements.

Do you have permits or need them?

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.

You have to make sure you follow the STR permits laws though.
