This project is essentially a complete gut that will include addition of roughly 700 SQF, new roof, siding, landscaping, privacy fence, hardwood flooring installation, interior re-design into an open concept floor plan, upgraded kitchen with granite counters, new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, etc.

The exempted properties are up to 2 years with an additional 25% interest after the first year making the interest rate 50%. 

The intent is to stop renter discrimination, employers prefer to hire tech workers in Seattle for example.Also the market here is way too hot.

I've got the architect's drawings ready to go, we're about to pull permits, but I know they don't have the cash to get past tearing down the illegal 2nd story addition and closing up the second floor (ext framing, siding, roofing).

Do we need permits for any additions to the house to be "official" on the MLS listing?  

Other lenders tack on additional requirements.

Additionally, does anyone own/invest in Finneytown?  

NOVA is a great area with a solid tenant base and great employment numbers for obvious reasons.  

I am upper 30s and looking at this for additional income and possibly a career change.

I recently moved a pension from a previous employer to a traditional self-directed IRA.
