I'm a civil engineer, and for example, I do the civil engineering/permitting for many Gas-Station & Convenience Store.

If there are any known issues(even as simple as a bad $7 shutoff valve) you will not be permitted to turn on utilities. 

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value?

Happens every year in wind storms.. but for over hang limbs I just have my tree guy go to the property line and go straight up and cut anything and everything that is over hanging my yard.. in our little berg here Lake Oswego they are Tree Nazi's and you need a permit to take a tree down.. you have to get an arborist to prove its a hazard etc etc..

The local permit office is also known for its efficiency and helpfulness.3.

Ive done all my research (plans, permits, contractors, etc) and feel like it's a no brainer and a fairly streamlined approval process in my area.

Working thru permitting.  

Could be sooner permitting what comes on the market that would best suit us therefore this is where the HELOC would mainly help.

Thanks again for your input, and I'll probably reach out as I get further along in the process.Hi @Edward Zachary Samperio, the regulations aren't that difficult and I'd be happy to give you a quick rundown about the density limits, hotel occupancy taxes, permitting, etc.

You cannot beat the power of an ADU for peace of mind, leveraging your home to pay less monthly and reduce your expenses and give you the experience and confidence of doing constriction, getting permits and working with the city and managing a very easy rental.
