Literally had a leaking pipe on our street that was fixed (thankfully), but instead of scheduling something with the city engineers/planners to properly repair/patch the road, the threw 1/4 ton of gravel into the hole and went on their way.

Is this presented to the city prior to acquiring a property during the due diligence period or is a land use attorney or city planner used?

Hello BP Community,Does anyone know of a good estate planner/attorney, preferably near Folsom, CA that they can recommend?

I talked with the city planner today and he let me know a developer actually just backed out of building a corner store there because the neighbors did not want a retail area there, but when I mentioned splitting the plats and doing maybe like duplexes or something there, he sounded excited and thought that the neighborhood would be on board for something like that.

I will need someone who fully understands 1031 exchanges, not just someone who has done one or two.Now that I am invested in a property, I will need some financial guidance, such as rent or sell, exchange for another when it's done being rehabbed, etc.Tax strategist, financial planner, that kind of thing.

Your estate planner, accountant and/or attorney can go over this with you and show you how to make it work for you.I can refer you to some resources, if you need them.David J Dachtera

I don't blame Vanguard, I blame my company and their poor taste in financial planners. :)

Albany will be governed by the city not the county.. so simply walk into the planning department give them the address talk to a planner and ask your questions.. they tend to be quite helpful in semi rural Oregon.. compared to the republic of Portlandia which can be uber frustrating..  

We are talking to a financial planner this week, but of course they are going to be more interested in selling us on stocks, etc.Thanks, all!

You may be able to negotiate a better deal, or get duplex plans with the deal instead of Fourplex (The owner has an Engineer, planner, and surveyor business).
