They've partnered with a company called Niido here in Nashville to take over a downtown hotel and turn it from residential condos to one thats permitted for STRs across the entire development. 

Duplexes were mostly constructed to permit the occupants to live independently, but under one roof...just make sure it's a proper duplex with plenty of space.

Repainted/reglazed the bathroom, kitchen cabinets/counters, fixed damaged drywall and baseboards, fixed damaged tiles, replaced doors/rotten doorframes, and removed with permit dead trees and such.

In Austin Texas if one needs to move walls, do additions or anything of that sort which requires permits then I would use 6 months.

Hi, I am finishing my basement with the help of some contractor in north NJ...my first time dealing with some contractor.We agreed on some price(labor only), material I will paying separately whenever and whatever needed on requirement basis.My concern is , 1. we agreed that he will take care of permit, but on first day when he came to work he told that we(owner) pull permit as home owner, in this way he can save some additional money, because he has only contractor permit ,but doesn't has electric and plumbing permit...just wondering is there any issue pulling permit by us, we live in the same house...is that ok/normal things?

I know nothing about Boston and permits etc, but could you find a single family in need of repair and while doing the rehab convert it to a duplex or even a duplex with attic apartment or duplex with garage converted to apartment?

But baring circumstances like that (family growing in size and you need a bigger house is another example) then you will not be permitted to purchase another primary home in that year's time. 

Here is the exact language:"Unless the previous borrower requests a release of liability, the servicer must process the following exempt transactions without reviewing or approving the terms of the transfer.A transfer of the property to a limited liability company (LLC), provided that a) the mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, and b) the LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence)."

Call county for permit costs.

We simply want to have all approvals in place and then sell the land to a builder who will then pull all permits in his/her name.
