Then you will need a couple of engineers to stamp and approve the plans (structural, electrical, mechanical).

The second is the more important one to you, you may have to pay double doc stamp fee and/or closing cost to get it done and this is not an insignificant cost.

I wonder if a signature stamp maybe used 🤔.

Another common call i get is from real estate agents & investors: "i have a customer who got caught not pulling a permit and needs a permit stamped."

If you are purchasing a property in Dubai, also be aware of the 4% stamp duty fee. 

As of today (3/28/23) I have city approved and stamped plans with all permits paid but my financing has fallen apart, tryign to get this goingWhile I have history with rehab projects as well as buy and hold room rental properties generating very high cash flows I do not have new build experience.I have a general contractor with nearly 20 years of build experience, for both himself and clients, he's worked with me on the project and was going to be on the loan with me but recently due to concerns about tax and legal implications ahs decided he can't be on the loan, I don't hold this against him. 

I'd also pay for the stamps and envelopes.PLUS: On any actual transaction, 6% of the profit would go to the bird dog and 4% to the transaction manager.

However I am worried this may push a lot of people away since they want these cash jobs to keep collecting their food stamps. 

It's not just S8, it's food stamps, medi-aid etc...

As I've mentioned before, I'm pretty well experienced in buying here at our sheriffs auction (WI is a judicial state) and haven't had an issue yet in buying quite a few of them and I've got a guy who runs the title searches for me on the few that I'm really interested in, always my last step is his "stamp of approval".
