The reason I ask is SB13 has text that would protect one unpermitted unit for up to 5 years if there is no health or safety issues with the unit. 

The plan was to renovate the first 2 or 3 vacated units first, then, after prioritizing the remaining occupied units, have those tenants temporarily (or permanently if they chose to) move over to one of the completed units.

Instead of changing its values to cater to these potential investors, he explained that he would rather stay true to his mission and values.For purpose-driven entrepreneurs, prioritizing social impact alongside financial returns is more important.

If it's drug-filled or run by gangs, you pass....because even lower-income parents are looking for safety for their kids; they're not buying in drug/gun areas.

Or I could put it together.just a bit more infos about the project:2 homes, 3000sqft each side by side modernist design, mid century styleindividual custom designs but sharing similar features to create economies of scaleboth built on flat padsproject is in the coastal commission area (malibu)building and safety visits and corrections, preparation for the coastal commission hearings, assistance during the construction phase, related expenses, all these items need considerations as i know they are not always included I'm looking for full service as timing will be critical and would package both projects at the same time.Are the numbers you give in the LA area?

If it's about safety and God forbid someone gets hurt or worse.

I went to the dept of building & safety to ask about the permit process to build a 400 sq ft studio in my back yard so i can rent it out.

While couched in "heath, safety & welfare" issues, permitting is really about revenue for the local government.

I am in Manchester as well, working as an agent and looking to get into investing in the next year and a half once i build up a little more safety cash...

If I quickly repair all safety concerns and manage the property well, I will eliminate most issues.2) Have property insurance.
