I understand that I might not get a land to build one, and might need to demolish an existing home to build this one.Will the city permits allow this?

Now that we have the new California ADU law in place for 2020, getting permit for it will be so much easier. 

So the value of the lease (less expenses and rent from a substitute tenant) is recoverable if the tenant has the ability to pay and you are willing to pursue it to judgment and beyond.There is however Maryland law which permits a physician’s cert as to medical condition or required care to reduce liability to 2 months.

Can anyone assist with the process on getting started, permits that need to be pulled, new construction builders, etc.?

Doing a rehab like the one you mentioned requires a lot of permits.

If you run into more questions or concerns feel free to tag me, as I try to remain pretty active on the forums if time permits.

I’ve gotten the permit with the town, rental dwelling insurance, and am changing my address back to parents home for the time being.

Here are the details:-He owns the lot free and clear (existing single-family house on it with renters)-He hired me to design a 4-unit Apartment Building for him on this lot (new construction)-We got 90% of the way through the Planning approval process, only a few hoops to jump through there to finalize the approval-The Design and Concept for it is Approved and the owners wants to build it, but his financing feel though when his investment partner had to step away-I have no money myself to invest in this, but I do have the skills/ability to finalize the plans needed to pull the building permit.

They have you a permit with no survey?
