I have worked my entire career in construction and last 2 years performing entitlements, permitting, and construction for industrial developments along the Wasatch.

Beyond that, terminate the tenancy based on your lease (you should have a clause in there that permits eviction for this kind of behavior).

I have a deal that was presented to me that currently has some mobile homes with permits to expand.

The solution is for people to find places where their wages permit them to buy or rent a decent place to live.

My wife and I used to do flips in this area, and I have a couple listings along with long term rentals I manage in the area..For the co-host, they typically do not handle permitting and other items like that (this can be agreed upon between you and the co-host.

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

If you are doing renovations that are more than cosmetic, you should be pulling permits and those generally require contracts because permit pricing is often based on contract value.

What I did find is that as a builder in eastern tennessee, I could build STR cabins for less than 70% LTV so that I could effectively BRRR my way into growth without coming out of pocket for a down payment.Now it does take a lot more cash to do because as a builder I have to front a lot of money at times (land, permits, each stage of construction while I'm waiting on the draw). 

You're also going to need survey and engineering work to get the permits done for putting in the utilities to the buildings, flatwork and other improvement requirements around the buildings.

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