@James Clays - I echo other's sentiments here, but I would also add that once you have a good contact (plumbing, electrical, painting, etc..) make sure to always as them who else they know in the business.

This included installing new tile flooring at the front of the house to enhance curb appeal, upgrading the electrical panels for safety and efficiency, and putting on a new roof to ensure long-term durability.

Our slow season is months with some of the best weather IMO and people come here to escape bad weather further North.Heated pools are great, but have you ever looked at the extra cost of energy and maintenance?

It is no different than maintaining the electrical outlet for the W/D or the plumbing for the washer.  

I don't see that you lost any money in the deal so I would just start over and not waste mental energy on the colossal errors of this former agent and team.

I’ve worked a bunch on other large projects and inspections  (building, zoning, plumbing, and electrical) and have had no issues in PA and NJ. 

I feel at this point trapped by the Analysis Paralysis syndrome, as well as time and energy starvation due to a full time job and role as a single parent.  

Make sure to inspect all the major systems thoroughly (HVAC, plumbing, foundations, roof, electrical) and make sure you know what they look like today.

I can not imagine you'd get a permit with "just a box drawn on the site plan".....nothing showing plumbing, electrical, structural elements, etc. meet building code.
