Does this include permit pulls and some small materials like screws, rags, tape, etc?

After that he hit us with the fact that the building still had 14 outstanding permits that had not been signed off.

@Marisa R.Hi Marisa,The area with the highest ratio of gentrified (stable employed) owner occupied vs gentrified rentals will probably prove to be the long term winner.Although if you are just fix and flipping it will probably be the area with the most permits pulled (short term).Just my 2 cents.Good Luck!

Another item of note: Increases the maximum household size permitted on a single-family lot from 8 to 12 unrelated people only if the lot includes two ADUsI own a duplex near the University of Washington that I could add a DADU (detached accessory dwelling unit).

The house is zoned commercial which is rare and means that I can get the permit from the city.

I.e. does it have the appropriate permits or is deemed a legal two family?

I am in the process of calling around to get myself insured so that I can apply for a contractors license with the state because that is how I will be able to get permits correct?

Cash invested: $16,000 2 Bedroom 1 bathroom upstairs and permitted bedroom and bathroom downstairs.

Meet with the permits department prior to closing and consult with a architect.

If you are doing major work then definitely use a professional to make sure you are good with permitting and local codes.
