i received a 'Rehabilitation Loan Permit Certification' document required from our Lender to close our 203k streamline loan.  

Since we usually sub out major repairs like roof, electrical, or plumbing, I haven’t run into any issues not having a license or certification in these areas.

@Jose GonzalezWhen you buy a multifamily or even an SFR with tenants in situ (tenants in place), it's important to get certificates/letters of estoppel from the tenants beforehand.

This was the amount required to acquire the land, construct the 50,379 square foot building, and get it blessed with the highly coveted certificate of occupancy.

They will not even provide me with a quote with out the elevation certificate.

So my idea in summary is:Builder finds lot for investor for 25k (I currently own 20 and have access to 350 more)Investor buys lot, secures financing, and hires the builder to build the house on the investor’s lot for $170k.When the construction loan has been paid off and the certificate of occupancy has been issued, builder then pays $29,250 (75% of Investor’s down payment) to investor for 15% stake in the property. 

The current owners have no desire to get the proper Certificate of Occupancy for the half bath and we're using a traditional lender (big bank) so we think this will be an issue to get a mortgage.1. 

Certifications purchased and orproduced by anyone, other than a doctor who has seen tenant in person and diagnosedthe need for such animal, will not be accepted.

I know we can say no animals (and we do) in our leases but if they wanted to push their weight and show proof that they have an ESA certificate it appears as though there is not much to do even though he cannot be around them????

Also we are looking for a land surveyor, if anyone has a good reference, to get an elevation certificate.
