We recently sold our condo and decided to ask our real estate agent to indicate that we weren't going to consider offers for the first week of the listing.

And, as Jon indicated, in my area, permits can only be pulled by licensed GCs.So, when we need to pull permits on jobs where we wouldn't otherwise have a GC, we have a GC that will pull the permits, check in on work and call in for inspections for a flat fee per project ($1000-1500, depending on the number of inspections).It's a good deal for him (only a couple hours of work) and a good deal for us, though he obviously needs to trust that we'll do everything to code and in a workman-like manner...

My understanding is if an individual is charging for his time he accepts his own liablity.

Plus each deal is theoretically treated individually.

I use several numbers and test each marketing campaign's effectiveness by using a different number for each marketing piece.Sometimes people responding to bandit signs prefer a toll free number because it generally indicates a company is behind it.

This is the best indication of why you would/wouldn't be getting offers.

In most states you cannot manage property for another individual or entity if you are not a licensed real estate brokerage.

This will give you a pretty good idea of your local market as well as whats going on in individual hoods.

Would it be best to rent them individually, then offer a discount for both?

You lease the entire property and then sublease the individual units.
