@Kevin S.Yeah I mean, maybe... in my experience permitting has everything to do with local governments being able to increase your taxes for each and every improvement.

I reached out to a local bank that knew the property, and asked for the commercial lending department. 

Contacted local DSCR loan officer and was told the best rates would be 7.325% with 30% down and that’s with two points.

absolutely there are things that are specific to your area that he would recommend to attend your local reia but over all he give a immense amount of info from day one to the end so to speak.  

Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:Research the Market Before Making a DecisionIt is important to research the local real estate market before investing in a property.

Just search for that term, get plugged into local real estate groups in your area, and seek out training or an instructor on that subject.  

Find out about investment meetups and groups in your local area, and find out if there are any players that bring in partners.

To that I would counter that THEY might enjoy that but not their family, friends, their health etc. would all suffer.Everyone's life and personal journey is different.

If your lease is silent on it, it would default to your local or state statute. 

Just another “illegal taking” my your local government.
