I obtained an absentee owner list of about 350 leads from listsource.com.

Can I get a Certificate of Occupancy for this as a rental in Ann Arbor?  

Hi All,Has anyone used Tru Loan/Tru Mortgage to obtain a loan?

Assuming that we each split the up front cash needed 50/50, my partner has recently retired from his full time job and able to act as a general contractor role dealing with all aspects of on the ground work, however, I am the one who is still employed with a decent income from W-2  (my partner also has maxed out his credit due to his other real estate endeavors) and therefore, the plan is for me to obtain finance if the deal is financeable or, if not financeable, we will each contribute equal amount of cash, and then cash out refi using only my credit.  

For some background, I am a full time CPA with my real estate certificate (no license yet) and our family has an LLC set up to treat this venture as a true business, adding 2-3 properties per year.

Then, you get a certificate of sale from the county.

Then, contact an architect/GC to estimate construction costs; contact a lender to estimate finance costs; and, contact your local planning and building department to determine the process involved in obtaining approvals for your project, an opinion as to the likelihood of your project being approved, as well as the costs involved (fees).

That being said I can offer you advice based off of when I obtained my license in LA.

The only thing I can think of is to obtain a line of credit with banks that will be able to cross collateralized the properties and offer a line of credit, does anybody know of a bank that would do it in the NYC/NJ areas?  

@Jany LeeI used AmeriSurveyors in Austin and San Antonio...they're priced about 1/2 of what other surveyors charge and they're willing to work with me on the certification language and field notes.
