Turns out I do need a special permit...

Not realizing the implications of having to get permits/inspections for the smallest things in a high end condo complex.

Not sure why people here keep going back to tear down, it is clear to me that is not an option here, same as holding and renting.I have done a rehab from existing studs only and completed an entire rehab, with permits, includinjg filling in an indoor pool and did so for $70k for a 2400 sq. ft home.

Rentors really don't generally care about someone elses' property.The mortgage holder may not permit all of them to be rented.

There may be things they [i]want[i] done, such as a new kitchen, and they said they would add a covered patio right away, If they had to pay a contractor, that might be 5K and up, but they would be doing most of the work themselves--according to him, so materials and permit only, not labor.

I'm reluctant to share any information, because I don't know what I am permitted reveal.

Are repair deductables permitted in a lease in that area/jurisdiction/city/state?

i.e. after final punch list, after you've had all inspections from permits you've pulled, after the property is under contract and buyers home inspector inspects it (I assume that's too long to wait), or some other wayI am having contractors looking for payment before I am comfortable paying, so I want to know what recommended practice in this area is.thanks for any help

Smoke detectors are a good one (Although if you're getting permits, lack of smoke detectors will cause you to fail a final inspection from the city 'round these parts)Other good ones - wire an outlet backwards.
