I was about to start the process to get a retroactive permit but realized the additional cost of a new exterior stairwell (metal) and architecture fees is almost 30kIm starting to weigh the options of either full tear down with a new 4 unit construction or separate building in the front of property (current is set back thus the extra costs to permit)  or adding a 2 story 2 unit addition connecting to the old propertysorry this post has become 2 ideas i need advice onif it deconvert can i use it as an inlaw suite with 2nd floor unit or a duplex up. 

Ex: You'll see 2-3 posts from travel nurses in the area looking for a room to rent. 

I am fully committed to putting in the necessary work and dedication to succeed in real estate investing.SN: Just to put it out there, I'm incredibly shy, and writing this post is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone.

Before I address those, I want to point out something that caught my eye in your post.

I'd recommend looking at some additional strategies that we post about in the marketplace.

@Jonathan Greene I hope all is well and I realize this is an old post.

The compensation you outlined in the post sounds reasonable, but you'll need to talk with the broker since from my understanding they would have the final say.

Read all @Cole Bigbee posts.  

@Torianne Baley...I'm speaking as an experienced mortgage broker in CA, but what concerns me is it seems per your posting that your running into many private money lenders offering 100% financing. 

First time posting.
