Think multi unit residential, commercial properties, or purchasing houses “subject to” existing mortgage.  

Problem working with regular buyers is you take them all over the place and can only take one out a weekend at a time unless using a bus tour,etc.I focus on commercial and not residential but I know it pretty well.

I insured a residential property that we are renovating with Obie.

Martin They get a bank loan, but most do not start out in MF, they start out in residential.

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.  

It would be far better for you to join NARPM - National Association of Residential Property Managers SE Virginia Chapter and join as an affiliate.

@James SillsFrom my experience working with investors, transitioning from residential to commercial real estate (CRE) is an exciting and achievable goal with the right foundation.

As a work around, we use a residential building and mark rents as commercial income. 

I have an extensive background in residential construction, having built several properties from the ground up, and I’m looking to focus on either fix-and-flip projects or a niche market for small residential homes in my area.
