The townhouse is located in Aspen’s sought-after lodging district, where STRs are fully permitted.

A PM knows how to get the utilities going quicker if permits are needed. 

Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

Thankfully, we caught it during the plan review stage, and with a stamped structural design, they got the kitchen of their dreams—without jeopardizing safety or facing surprise delays.Here’s what to think about when renovating:Structural Changes: Even moving a wall can have ripple effects on the stability of your home.HVAC Systems: New layouts might need adjusted airflow or ductwork.Plumbing and Electrical: Moving sinks, showers, or outlets requires careful rerouting to comply with building codes.Before starting demolition or submitting permits, have your plans reviewed by a licensed engineer or architect to avoid costly surprises.

I do not worry much about "hurried or sloppy work" because it is also in my contract that all work must pass inspection, which may include the city / county (for permitted projects), lender and myself.

I know when it comes to many cities there are long permit processes and also there are specific air laws that go into each city.I would love to hear a story that goes over an experience pertaining to developing/rehabbing a property in the DC area. 

Most who get tripped up are those buying the smaller multi-families that don't possess the correct use permit/historical rental license activity. 

If so I would thoroughly ready this to see what they require and what you agreed to.I doubt you can keep your permit if you refuse their inspection.If you are doing everything as you should, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Hi Lina, I'd recommend finding a local agent that is familiar with the investment properties and law, permits, regulations for STRs/MTRs in Kyle, Texas.
