They may (or may not) be willing to show you how their system works.Another is that there are often two independent departments.

Even though I faced failures and challenges, I'm grateful for the learning opportunities they provided, because they have forced me to learn how to analyze deals the right way instead of let them be provided to me.Lastly, I want to highlight my background as a first responder with almost two decades of service in one of the nation's busiest departments.

Dear BP forum,My wife and I are looking at a multifamily in Union City, NJ.

The building department now wants driveways to come in at 25% slope but they're talking about changing that to 15% slope which will make even more lots virtually unbuildable.

Dear all,Trying out a particular style of real estate investing for the first time can be a major psychological hurdle to clear.

Backup plan, go to work for the city building inspections department or a third party inspector contracting for the county.#4.

You also should call your local zoning or permitting department to get information on areas you are interested in and how to be a legal STR.I 100% recommend making sure the STR could work as a LTR as well in case you have to pivot ever.

I would start by speaking with someone in the zoning department.
