I obtained a Certificate of Completion from American Insutuite - Somerset NJ In admissiontive Professional.

To invest in a 506C offering, you need to be accredited and provide third-party certification, which can be a bit of a hassle.

The existing law states that STRs are only allowed in Resort zones or if the unit has a non-conforming certificate. 

If pros out here can answer some of my questions and concerns and any other due diligence:- The house ARV after 2 years (in NJ 2 year is the holdup period) should be lot more than the certificate cost for current year and full tax next year

I am a new investor and had a property under contract for a rehabbed duplex, while under contract I was planning to set up the rental certification after closing.

Pre-approval from the state is required to sit for the examination.Please note that the Georgia Business and Law exam is also required to be passed to obtain your contractor’s license.Licensure will be required for the practice of contracting in Georgia for any job over $2,500.Applicants must have a minimum of net worth of $150,000, a Line of Credit with a minimum of $50,000 one must have a CPA submit a reference letter/form attesting to either a review or audit.Must provide copy of an insurance certificate showing proof of workers compensation insurance as required by Georgia law and liability insurance in a minimum amount of $500,000.

From my understanding, an out of state LLC needs to get a "certificate of authority" if transacting business in Florida.

It is also common to 'hold back' 5-10% of the submitted payments till the end of the project to ensure the punch-list (a list of everything that needs to be completed after final inspection from the jurisdiction) is completed before "occupancy" (not to be confused with the Certificate of Occupancy issued by the jurisdiction).

Applicants now need to have "certification of short term rental insurance" upon application. 

@Kathy Diamond if you need an actual BPO done for bank owned properties or refi there is an NAR certification called BPOR.
