If it’s septic or oil, there should be permits and township documentation about it.

So I bought off a legal 2 family house in Brooklyn which had an apartment upstairs but was taken out and everything was converted by the previous owner into one nice big house without any official permit to convert it..

If various parts of the job require permits then lining up milestones with passing the inspection and final permits can be helpful because it's a clear yes/no on whether that's been achieved.

I would make sure the garage conversion was permitted.

If I purchased a $1,400,00 quadruplex in California or New York with FHA loan, then got permits to add 5 more units do I need to refinance to a Commercial loan?

I hear if you already have your permits, you can go ahead with construction.

They are both handling all of the cold call prospecting while I can focus on the website, social media, PPC, and facebook ads.

We are just getting in to REI but are excited at the prospects!

They were built in 1948, fully permitted and have separate electric and gas metering and share water and sewer service.

If you want to change the size, rise/run, location, etc. you're going to need permits, etc.If you hire out a total rebuild, the contractor will most likely have to be licensed and insured.Honestly, I'd do this myself.
