I was looking into his program on Lease Options and didn't know if it was worth the 2k for a newcomer.

@Christina Hall do we need a local contact for big bear city STR permitting?

from date of permit approval to certificate of occupancy was 4 months. sold in 3 months and profited $130k after all fees.

I called someone and they came out and redid my roof, permits were pulled very nice man. 

It will also provide intel on how much fill/dirt might need to be brought in.The result here is more land to build on with more cost effective permits.  

I think the hardest/biggest hurdle to overcome when doing something like this is the permitting with the city/county youre dealing with.

Huntsville, Alabama“Our data is showing that single-family and multifamily permits are at record levels in both Charlotte and Huntsville, even higher than the housing boom in the mid-2000s,” McCutcheon shares.The Zonda Residential Economic Report for Huntsville forecast permit activity for 2022 near 4,601 single-family homes.

Hey there, It will depend on your local building department requirements, but you will likely need a sketch and a permit, although no need for an architect for something like that, your contractor should be able to handle it. 

I already have the equipment (panels, string inverters if I go that route, wiring, disconnects, etc.) so just a matter of getting permits and an electrician to bless the project. 

Able to look up permits for the property, so you know what work has been done and whether they are permitted.2.
