Or legal council as mentioned.

@Christopher Blanco  well that will keep the riff raff out of shaker heights and I am sure that is why the city council or whatever you call them there enacted those ordinances.Here on the West coast are major heart burn these days is in new construction permits.Low of 25k per house.. and were I live in Lake Oswego can be as high as 75k with 50 to 60k average.So add that one to the 50 to 60k a lot it cost to just develop a bare plot of land... and that does not include running the services.. so we are at about 100k per lot before you put a stick in the air.. so people wonder why houses are so expensive here.. we build for 90 to 110 a foot not including these items.. so its not the building costs its land and city and govmit fees that drive prices so sky high.But on existing homes.. there is no inspections required unless your doing elec. or plumbing. if its just selling an existing home that no work was done on.. then the only inspection would be from the buyer at their expense .. as their agent advises them to do..

All I know is that they're pretty high up on the National Multi-Housing Council's 2012 list of top apartment managers.

Have you heard of National Council of Exchangors & Equity Exchanging ? 

No matter how good, big, successful, wealthy you are, you always need good council or coaching.

@Pawan Johar  The City in many areas have bylaws for a min 30 day rental, strata councils have tightened up their rules in many cases banned short term rentals entirely.Our Vancouver properties would not be cash positive it we were paying today's prices, I have been thinking about selling them and doubling down in another market.

The people you should call and ask them where to be depending what your goals are are experienced people in the Chamber of Commerce, building officials, City council people, and newspaper people.It is not the place to consider because of the current conditions that have helped the values and they will decrease some day as long as you are looking at long term returns.Good luck to you!

there are a bunch of projects in the works I have one that is 160 lots.. you should go to the city council meetings and support us !!!!

SandraGoogle for Austin Tenants Council which is very active - suggest you call them.
