I seem to recall there was stuff like a 24 hour on site manager required at all complexes (crazy and would put most small folks out of business) and a no income source rule that would force all but the higher end rentals into Section 8 whether they even understood it or were aiming for it (classic big penalty, stigma and lawsuit for violations).....I mentioned the small time folks may not all be interested in Section 8 or set up to participate and handle that market.Oddly, the assembly's goal was more housing, better managed housing, more affordable housing.

I'm not too worried about assembly and installation, we do have the ability and knowledge to do that (although time is an issue). 

You shadow or mirror someone who is successful in the aspect of the business, and finally you assemble a team to help get you there.BiggerPockets and these meetings will help you to start learning the various aspects of the industry whether it's property management, flipping, rehabbing, etc.

Jared is correct, once you have your team assembled they will do all the work required to obtain permits..

The reasoning for these particular areas is I am originally from there, know the areas, and have friends and family that I get back to visit regularly.I am currently getting the business side of things assembled and hope to acquire my first property within the next 90 days. 

I had my team assembled and ready to go before I ever put in my first offer.
