But  most of those repairs with the exception of electrical would typically be non permit repairs. maybe someone else can chime in but I would assume they  could be repaired and then just call for an inspection. can you call the office and find out what will be involved in clearing the violations and if there is any fees or costs associated with doing so?

All interior and doesn't require permits.

Looking for some advice on how to prepare/get started in the real estate investment world as a young college student without much money.

I am asking for advice on how to handle the process of clearing out her belongings in a way that does not expose me to any legal risk and also allows me to begin renovating and improving the unit as soon as possible to decrease the vacancy loss as much as possible while still being ethical and compassionate to her family.On a side note, the other tenant is a building inspector that deals with code violations for the city...sooooooo, I'm going to be pulling permits for everything related to the renovation and hope to create a positive relationship with him while he lives in the unit.Thank you in advance for your advice.
