If yes, were they permitted?

Measures like; Job growth, building permits, crime rates are pertinent for these types of evaluations.Good luck - Ned

Did the village hit you with all of that when you brought them out for permits?

I think financing is an excellent way to grow your business, but to grow too fast without having reserves for the rainy days could be like you said in your article, disastrous.I'm currently exploring options to refi and cash out one of my free and clear because the property value jumped more than 100% of my purchase price + repair costs.I'm looking at: 1) acquiring another income generating free and clear with the proceeds2) trying a flip, and applying what I know about the planning, permit, and construction aspects to my advantage.Both are leveraging up, but with option one, I'd still have piece of mind that there isn't a big loan attached to it.

However, my impressions are based on hearsay, so I am not sure.The thing about Section 8 is that just as I am simply not permitted to be a bad tenant (as if I would!)

Title company will not permit a dry closing and requires the B party to have their own funds.Be careful with dry closings.

Did you pull permits?

Make sure you budget for extra holding costs as you are bound to lose some time with permitting, inspections, etc.

Does it permit assignment?

I actually have one crazy village that requires me to get an occupancy permit every time the renter changes.
