I sent it certified mail with delivery receipt, but hand delivery would also have been acceptable.I was planning on raising the rents in the building anyway, so the other two tenants received a 30-day notice of rent increase from $350 to $650. 

Ideal bird dogs are Mailmen, Delivery workers, pool cleaners, garbage men (Sorry their not a sanitary engineer unless they have a degree in engineering), and anyone else who drives through neighborhoods for a living. 

I’ve been able to save 40k from my delivery business and want to get started in investing/flipping.

., I also built a decent book of construction contacts. managing roofing helps prep one for challenges with permitting, inspections, material deliveries, shortages, and substitutions, crew scheduling, labor disputes, etc.

Overall, I feel like I'm doing okay, usually getting a renovated place ready from the closing in about 30 days (keeping in mind furniture delivery can be a 15-day wait).

For anyone else looking at doing the same, I found this here:"If the lender identifies rental income from the property, the loan is eligible for delivery as a second home as long as the income is not used for qualifying purposes, and all other requirements for second homes are met (including the occupancy requirement above)."

I guess they're primarily serving bay area market only as delivery fee is $7/mile and few thousand more if crane is needed.

Sears Outlet may be worth checking into, but they can be difficult to schedule delivery and installation.

While ordinances are often black and white, the process is not so cut and dry and it varies greatly between different cities and counties.Craft a contract that pays the engineering firm at certain delivery points, so you do not get in too deep on the project before you get the right approvals/or at least a good idea of likelihood of approval of your design.

Or if I have a delivery permit real time access).
