It's definitely more common up there (Gilpin County where the regs say you can camp for 30 days with a camping permit and neighbors are typically less likely to complain/ code enforcement is less likely to notice and enforce).

and the permitting process might be cumbersome. but similar to the roof, get some quotes and do the math if you want.

We hired another contractor (a church friend of a realtor that we'd used in the past and we trust this realtor 100%) and paid him $15,000 to start the same project and everything went great; he completed demolition, installed the new roof, and got some permits (roof permit, electrical, and plumbing).

Even though it’s tempting to get a head start on the roof due to the weather, having workers in the property while the seller is still living there can create complications.

The rule as I had read it was that if the property is intended to be rented out for more than 90 days, there is a requirement that there is a permit required.

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

The issue with RUBS is that it is fluid and it hinges on the # of occupants and this poses issues: 1) A child uses less than an adult; 2) a worker from home uses more than one that drives to work; 3) A couple may have a child during tenancy which they fail to divulge; 4) friends and family may visit for a few days during holidays.... etc. etc. etc.  --- and... these issues become issues for the other Tenant and then turns you into the constant 'utility police' because you constantly have to monitor # of occupants... eww. 50/50 is simple and simply understood and 100% while vacant is also simply understood.

Rethinking density limitations like building height, parking requirements, and ADU permitting would be more impactful. 

The waterfront area downtown is beautiful for as far as the eye can see in both directions.As remote work takes hold and knowledge workers look to escape Seattle, I can definitely see it becoming an Austin-esque city in the PNW.

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.
