What's up BP fam,My name is Joel, I'm a 23 year old laborer in construction from Anaheim, Ca.

Hello to all the members in the Bigger Pockets network,My name is Udit Multani and I am a real estate investor, about 10 months old in the industry with previous experience being a Construction Manager and construction cost estimator for various construction projects in California.

The property is in a Historic District in DC, which we are told it would be extremely hard to obtain permits to convert back into a 2 unit property.We have also been told that since there isn't a second door in the front of the property anymore (which with the new laws a second door cannot be added again) and because the basement divider wall has been removed the property cannot be grandfathered into the old laws and we would have to go before a board to be approved and that this would be extremely hard to do.We agreed to buy this property based on the fact that we could convert back into 3 level 2 unit property.

For instance, all the floor beams are 12 inches apart instead of 18 inches, which means even though it's a 30-year old house, there are no squeaks in the floor.
