I am trying to figure out if this is a code violation and how this would impact sale.  

I've dumped all my market-based investments for real estate and real estate lending for the following reasons:1) Control - I'm in charge, not some crook on Wall St.2) Stress - market volatility has no direct impact on me.3) Leverage - can get more more on RE4) tax advantages - where else can you depreciate an appreciating asset5) cash flowI'm not missing the stock market one bit!

I think it's great to talk about it IF your work culture allows it.

Obviously you can get away with having a desirable cultural draw, or a great employment draw, but both is better.

The items I listed above are a subset of many that may impact building for your intended use.  

One of the things the city is allowing is to defer up to half of permit and impact fees till final inspection, so at least if I will save some up front money. 

Just a side note: Using these services may not be as helpful to your tenants as you may have hoped, if you dig deeper in to the details from each Credit Reporting Agency you can see where rental payments will have no impact on the scores most lenders use in credit granting decisions, for example; Experians offering results in a tradeline that impacts Vantage scores or Experians own Plus Score, neither of which are used by.....well anybody for credit approvals.

This is something that may reduce the enthusiasm of going to work for a company that does not include these types of incentives in their culture.

That said, we recently rehabbed an excellent property in Summerlin (one of the best areas in Las Vegas) with tile floors, paint and some landscaping and the total was approximately $9,000.Ongoing MaintenanceMaintenance costs can have a major impact on profitability.

We pinched every penny and tried to put the money where it would have the most impact on the overall value of the property.
