I don't know, but I trust the CPAs I have spoken with to interpret the code, and apply it how the feel would stand up in an audit.

However, it’s not the only way to get the qualification, it allows for Self and Homeowner declarations and documentation to add up experience, its just not as easy as an existing GC stating “he’s good to go”.Pursuant to Business and Professions Code (BPC) Section 7068, applicants’ experience must be verified by a “qualified and responsible person.”

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

Two - In my due diligence, it looks like the only real option to make this unit legal is a special permit and variance, therefore, causing me to update the whole building with sprinklers, fire alarm, and meeting stretch code (certainly not enough meat on the bone for this route).
