I also enclose below the text of the relevant section for ease.https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2020/553.79QUOTE(14) A building permit for a single-family residential dwelling must be issued within 30 working days of application therefor unless unusual circumstances require a longer time for processing the application or unless the permit application fails to satisfy the Florida Building Code or the enforcing agency’s laws or ordinances.UNQUOTEThe previous link to the City of Cape Coral citizens portal lets individuals see permit details for a specific property address, the progress with applications, and if not using a private provider the status of inspections.  

.: The applicant needs a social security number or an individual tax ID number (ITIN).

Well I've never really thought if they appreciate it on an individual level or not.Some do say thank you, some do not. 

It will cut down on the fake accounts created to promote certain individuals, markets etc.

Best bet would be a “partnership” with a monied individual looking for a high risk/high return passive investment with you providing the “active” part.  

The out of the box strategies and set ups sold will never replace customized AP/Tax strategies based on individualized circumstances. 

Quote from @John Morgan: I’d do individual cash out refis on them to scale up.

When we built up the triplex, we set it up so that each of the 11 rooms can be rented out individually (all BR, except 2, have their own bathroom behind an electronically locked door).

The software accomplishes what is needed individually, but I prefer a "one-stop shop" solution. 

Building connections with like minded individuals to help each other achieve their goals is priceless.
