Contractors have been stiffed by owners and owners have been stiffed by contractors.I only pay anything up front if the contractor can give me a W-9, liability insurance certificate, proof of trade licensure, and workers comp cert. 

Does anyone know if a Certificate of Occupancy is required when you have a Triplex with 3 tenants in Fort Myers? 

That being said, I would make sure you do not need a rental certificate to rent out the basement.

(Borrower's Certification/Verification Authorization/Financial Privacy Notice) Please include your current Home Owner’s Insurance and Property Tax information.

As for the checkbook control, that is only necessary for advanced investors who utilize strategies which require funds immediately such as tax lien certificates, all cash 3-5 day closes, etc.I highly recommend using Equity Trust, roll your 401k into a SDI and start buying property or loaning $ secured by the real estate.

If you can't get a job with one of them go ahead and sign up for the online classes to get you home inspection certification and use it as a source of extra income and/or get your RE license and work for an agency PT .

Account Closed not knowing how you fill out your application, there is a section where you need a third party to verify "Certification of Work Experience"Have someone "Vouch" shouldn't be that big of a issue.

You'll also need to factor in the cost of a City Planning Letter $350-$600, Tax Certificates $10-$100, and Harris County Clerk Filing Fees $65.

The permit itself is your evidence that you got a permit for the work, you will also need a certificate of occupancy (CO) from the building inspector when all the work is done (this is to make sure the work was done to code).

Are these inspections and certification easy to obtain?
