@Fahima Hilal an architect usually only outlines mechanicals, plumbing & electrical on their blueprints.Your contracts should be creating appropriate drawings showing where their stuff would go and submit to city with their permit application.

Regulations include NIMBYism, slow permitting, over permitting, zoning that has not been brought to current demands, etc.

If you're unsure when you'll be moving, a ski-lease or mid-term lease might be an option.Truckee (City) has regulations on short-term rentals and a waiting list for permits.

This City required individual lot grading plans, signed & sealed by an engineer, for each building permit.

I invest in Philadelphia and nine years ago I was able to complete a two story 1200 SF rowhomes rehab for $50,000 with no shortcuts, fully permitted etc.

It won't impact the rental side but will cause issues on the rehab progress and permit nonsense instructed by the city. 

look at other STR data in the area and do similar style to do your best to recreate similar results 

This would be a flat fee payment for the use of their license for permitting SFH.

The Help Desk responds quickly when you message them.PS is for a particular type of investing, which are probably the PM, and I wonder if you are permitted to live there.

Given that it is near the end of the year, it is almost impossible to get the STR permit  and actually rent it before the end of the year, most likely, I am not able to get any tax benefits in 2024.
