Hi, I am finishing my basement with the help of some contractor in north NJ...my first time dealing with some contractor.We agreed on some price(labor only), material I will paying separately whenever and whatever needed on requirement basis.My concern is , 1. we agreed that he will take care of permit, but on first day when he came to work he told that we(owner) pull permit as home owner, in this way he can save some additional money, because he has only contractor permit ,but doesn't has electric and plumbing permit...just wondering is there any issue pulling permit by us, we live in the same house...is that ok/normal things?

I know nothing about Boston and permits etc, but could you find a single family in need of repair and while doing the rehab convert it to a duplex or even a duplex with attic apartment or duplex with garage converted to apartment?

But baring circumstances like that (family growing in size and you need a bigger house is another example) then you will not be permitted to purchase another primary home in that year's time. 

Here is the exact language:"Unless the previous borrower requests a release of liability, the servicer must process the following exempt transactions without reviewing or approving the terms of the transfer.A transfer of the property to a limited liability company (LLC), provided that a) the mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, and b) the LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence)."

Call county for permit costs.

We simply want to have all approvals in place and then sell the land to a builder who will then pull all permits in his/her name.

Unfortunately, they will not give you a rental permit without an in-state property manager. 

Also, a heads up...technically there's a permit required in Tallahassee when replacing siding over a certain square footage.

Does anyone have a list or excel sheet with the current STR permitting regulations/application policy for mountain towns, particularly near ski areas? 

Fully permitted remodel includes all new double vinyl windows, doors and trim, interior & exterior paint, sizeable deck, flooring, water heater and much more!
