Development makes me nervous in certain markets where delays from permitting and other issues can really hurt the project ROI, however, some projects can be very lucrative.

Due to permitting with the City I only did non structural work to this property.We opened up the kitchen, added a kitchenette downstairs, and remodeled all the bathrooms.

There is an easement between you and the neighbor permitting the neighbor to park on your property, did I understand that correctly?

I should add, this is permitted by the Ohio Revised Code and most communities take advantage of it to keep from losing money on bad tenants.

Hey @Elaine Lai - if that work is permitted and you have 45k locked in (I suggest making sure your contractor blesses the work done to it) you should lock that thing down at 95k.

Will some authority check that the codes are met prior to issuing work permit?

@Ahmed AlkaysiTo file the use permit you do not need any plans

Not sure how short-term rental permitting in SA works, but in Austin where I live, it's much more favorable if you live on-site.$145K is high for a C-class house in SA, even renovated, even with a casita.

You will quickly find out just how that court interpreted the law and what the court believed was permitted and prohibited.

By eliminating the waiting period of meeting with Alderman, getting plans and permits submitted, hoping they get approved, attending late night zoning meetings, and fighting with neighbors and city inspectors, developers can actually focus on improving the property.
