Hi Chris, you are not required to obtain the sales tax certificate.

@Bryan H. we manage over 300 doors in the City of Detroit, so we like to think we know what we're doing:)They don't have a rental permit, it's called a Certificate of Compliance which you have to get every 3 years.

This means, make sure your contracts are signed and you collect your insurance certificates not only from the GC but also the sub contractors where you are listed as additional insured before you make payments.

I'd like to get $40K for it so I can pay the debt and use the rest to reinvest.I know the title is clean, even though I don't have a certificate.

I always thought that was an option if the owner wanted to bring the house out of the flood zone by getting some sort of elevation certification saying the house itself is above the 100 year flood plane and therefore does not need flood insurance.

You can also use that to take classes for some sort of licensure or certification to learn more about real estate while having an income if that interests you at all - something like a real estate appraiser, residential real estate agent, commercial real estate broker, property manager, short term rental manager - just to name a few.

I’ve seen ESA “certification” sites that actually encourage tenants not to disclose until after they are accepted, so that they “aren’t discriminated against.”Yeah, I’ll just leave that alone...

For ESAs state you verify details with the healthcare professional per HUDs recommendation (their recommendations state the provider must have a relationship and not be one of the pay $$$ and get a certificate websites).

The town requires an STR permit before renting and they limit the number of STR Registration Certificates to 1,225 a year.

Both the seller and the seller's agent signed the affidavit of title stating "we have always obtained all necessary permits and certificates of occupancy."
