This of course can be scaled up as well for better profits, if you have a 1 acre lot, you can probably fit 2 buildings with 4 units each (depending on zoning requirements), or 4 buildings on 2 acres and so on.

By leveraging our expertise in pricing and buyer demand, we identified a deal that required no renovations but still yielded solid returns.

Thankfully, we caught it during the plan review stage, and with a stamped structural design, they got the kitchen of their dreams—without jeopardizing safety or facing surprise delays.Here’s what to think about when renovating:Structural Changes: Even moving a wall can have ripple effects on the stability of your home.HVAC Systems: New layouts might need adjusted airflow or ductwork.Plumbing and Electrical: Moving sinks, showers, or outlets requires careful rerouting to comply with building codes.Before starting demolition or submitting permits, have your plans reviewed by a licensed engineer or architect to avoid costly surprises.

Quote from @Paul Gupta: Hi, in California, For jobs requiring a license, there was CSLB (contractor state licensing board) which would give either a General Contractor license, or specialty licenses by trade (~60 specialties such as concrete, welding tile, ) https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/licensing_classific...My Q: does Maryland and DC area have similar requirements? 

You can use this property to hedge any others that you add that may only cover themselves, or require supplement until they are paid off.HOWEVER, if you have decided that your goal is to use Real Estate as a stepping stone to build wealth by upgrading the property you hold each time (condo to house, house to 4-plex, 4-plex to 8 unit, etc) then I think you are right to sell now while you think the property is at the top of it's appreciation.It will be hard for anyone on BP to tell you what to do as we don't know your goal.You are right.

I spoke with State Farm, but they require plumbing and electrical panel upgrades just to consider reviewing my application.

It’s likely the GC will subcontract the concrete work to a specialist while they focus on managing the permitting process and ensuring everything is done to code—especially if there are ADA requirements involved for the ramp.Let me know if you need help navigating the process or any tips for working with contractors.

If you eventually convert the property to your primary residence and later sell it, the taxes would be prorated based on the ratio of time the property was investment property.These items should be addressed and discussed with your tax and legal counsel to ensure that the exchange is the best course of action given the restrictions and requirements.
