The person will assist in some prop management but largely the GP will oversee/ manage most of the deal (design, permits, construction, leasing).

I also know the zoning/permits better than the appraiser on some of them because if they passed initial evaluation I looked up the zoning and permits. 

City permits for this are way harder than most people think and most neighbors in a residential area will NOT want this next door to them (NIMBY).

My concern is that they added a room without permit(Not permitted work).

Make sure to check zoning laws and permit requirements in your area, and maybe connect with local contractors through referrals to get multiple quotes.

Also, I wanted the license to be able to pull my own building permits and do my own projects. 

Looking for some insight/ experiences from folks who have furnished rentals/ Airbnb in Anaheim (City requirement 31 day minimum unless you have a permit).  

After 18 months I still didn't have a building permit and decided to cut ties with the builder and forfeit my deposit. 

Example would be for a SFH fixer upper in grandma condition:   $10k for demo and permits and prep, $10k for wall removing and layout revising, $10k for basement framing, $10k for drywall, $20k for paint, $30k for flooring, $20k for kitchen, $20k for baths, $20k for any MEP upgrades, $10k for trim work, $10k interior finishes 

Are you up to date on all of your licensing and permitting to legally rent this duplex?
