@Troy Sheets may be able to comment as he has extensive knowledge of this and is a developer as well as a GC  Architect (to draw stamped plans, no more EZ permits unless you owner occupy the property) and engineer (engineer will have to draw up the framing plan I believe to move the stairs) will both be needed.

A few thousand more apparently... contractor had architects drawings two months before work started and now we’re in week 9 and he drops the bomb on me.We needless to say I asked for an itemized breakdown of work needed to be preformed and a balance of what’s owed and based off of our pay schedule and documents he provided were off by a couple hundred bucks.He’s claiming I owe more money for work performed and never agreed upon.We do not have a contract, simply a scope of work and receipts of payment.

His idea is that I purchase the lot contingent on a building permit, while we get the permit approved, we market his pre-made home drawing/plans on Zillow, find a buyer and execute a contract for sale on the new home build before I even close on the land. 

My 6.5yo draws floor plans for his forts, including furniture placement.  

Lots of times with HELOCs there are no closing costs and keep in mind that you will only owe on the HELOC if you actually draw down money.

Since we issue on a Draw basis, you would complete x% of the work, and then be reimbursed for that amount.Interest Only payment for 12 months-  based on the  Advanced portion.

The pond is obviously a draw to current and future tenants. 

And, for the life of me, I'm having the hardest time pinning down a real estate lawyer who works with wholesalers here and can draw up a contract for me.

What do you think draws people to invest in your market in Columbus?

You may need an architect to draw it out and hope that the city will approve it as is.
