They are not the same thing, but if the building was constructed prior to 1969 without undergoing a change in occupancy type and no major renovation permits pulled, it will likely not have or require a CO.

A real estate person looking to get a deal but with no construction/renovation experience would be ideal to partner.

In a partnership I'm involved in where I brought the deal and will be handling day to day decision making and managing the original renovation we are splitting things 65-35 so the partner bringing the funds will make around a 15% coc return annually.

We have a rental property that I’ve renovated top to bottom (Texas, 3br, loft, office, 2.5ba, 2200sqft) in order to sell. 

I currently own my home in Roeland Park, 2 bed 1 bath, large back yard, am in the process of renovating the kitchen(painted cabinets, new back splash, new counter top.What are your thoughts on if it would be a better move to sell and invest the proceeds or try to rent it. 

Maybe a residential loan with a renovation component piece?

One half of the duplex is being rented and the other just got new furnace parts and it still being renovated (currently working on the flooring).

one thing I find in our markets is the larger multi family new developments just don't pop up one day.they are 3 to 4 years in the making and its a little like stopping a cruise ship once it gets going .so what we are working on today in planning and permitting we wont built for another 2 years or so.whats coming on line today folks bought and started in 2015 and 2016.. so that can lead to over supply for sure in the rental realm. 

We plan to renovate all properties into high-end sale or rentals. 

We went with a contractor highly recemmended by some friends who recently had a larger house renovation completed.
