Permitted or not, you want 100% assurance the property is within building code standards for the year it was built, and for any upgrades/ changes - the years those upgrades were made; ie GFICs in wet areas currently, but not required in original construction back in 1950 when they didn't exist.sorry for not replying earlier, I'm rarely on this platformbest of luck on the project

So many people have been moving here from different area codes.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Code enforcement in Coronado is stricter than the rest of the city, and it does fall under the coastal commission jurisdiction.Depending on the parameters of the flip you can safely factor for an increase in your timeline for permitting of about 30 days. 

Lenders tend to have different requirements.... some look for a required minimum membership interest and others look solely at direct benefit the signer receives which could be membership interest, fee etc.

And the real benefit of real estate that makes it worth the hassle is appreciation.

If you are going to rent it and want to take advantage of the tax benefits be aware of material participation requirements and limitations on personal use. 

No meat on bones, comps not very good, had a property that had asbestos code violation and more.

While OZ investments offer significant tax benefits, assess property risks and long-term potential beyond the tax savings.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

•However, if your wife or her direct family members receive a financial benefit from the sale (e.g., inheritance distributions from the proceeds), the IRS may consider it a related-party transaction.3.Two-Year Holding Requirement•If the IRS deems this a related-party transaction, you’d need to hold the new property for at least two years before selling or exchanging it again to avoid disqualification.
