@Michele Fischer - I have to provide a mounted fire extinguisher with a certain rating just to get the Certificate of Occupancy for all of my rentals.

Hey everyone,Trying to generate some ideas for a friend of mine, basically he is wanting to find a job that has night shifts that he can use to save additional money for real estate.Perhaps something that requires some certification / training and or a trade would be an option.

I'd be interested in those certifications and testing... thanks, :)

The annual certification is mailed to participants, ready for signature, around the anniversary of the purchase.

I am not in Missouri - so guesstimating - typical billing rates for a PE doing this type of work would likely be in $90/hr-$140/hr range and it would probably be about 4 to 12 hours of work (depending on existing conditions, needs, certification, location, etc).

I also recently purchased some tax lien certificates on improved residential and commercial properties in Colorado as an experiment.  

@Brendan LongeDiscover will add an extra $5 to the gift card when the user "cash out" the cashback bonus for certain stores (in form of actual store gift card or e-certificate).

Response also gave me, when I purchased the 3 days, a certificate to redeem for my full investment $1,000 if I do a deal within 6 months. 

Standard disclaimer that I'm just an internet guy and have no law degree nor tax certifications, but from my understanding the law is fairly lenient on what constitutes proof of residency for this.As far as investors with experience on more hard-core construction, reach out to @Jared Watson.

Be honest and let the perspective tenant know you are working with the city to obtain the proper certifications to accept section 8.
