Born and raised in this lovely city.

This can have a possible trickle down affect to surrounding areas in Kansas City.

I own a triplex in Savannah, great city.

So far that has been the biggest challenge!

Maybe you can shed some light on cost savings as it relates to, retaining 1 part of the original structure (in the event of a teardown-rebuild scenario), where be it, a wall or a prescribed portion of the original structure is retained, per the request of the city/county? 

@Tiffany Onwudinanti I'm actually in Oklahoma City!

A contractor friend go certified to do on call inspection for the city/county and would do property inspections.

I've been buying turnkeys for years and that's the only way I've done it.Right now the best outfits I know that offer what you want are in Philly (although they aren't my favorite of all of them, but they are more local to you), Chicago, Indy, and Kansas City.

About a week later we received letter from city saying we did work without permit.

The biggest factor for most people is time.Define your investment criteria (what you're looking for), then see if you can find it.
