I want to do a cash out refinancing in month 13 and maximize what I can pull out for my next purchase.The problem is that I started a retaining wall for the parking lot and the city stopped my work and said I need a permit.  

You HAVE to have check book control if you manage rentals.The other issue is at some point the IRS will start auditing SD-IRAs and the penalty for non permitted transactoins in a 401k is much smaller than for an IRA.  

More then likely you will be responsible for hiring the consultants, getting permits, finding the financing, construction, management, etc.  

Chances are approximately zero that the appliance repair is a permitted use.  

Sales tax from industry workers?

Does it make sense on the west coast IN PDX they sure are building a ton of it.. last 3 years.I own some land...I got a use permit to build 46 units on it and I also own the land across the street that I just had a preliminary layout drawn for 160 units.

They are likely to have a set of requirements for the space.You will need a project plan including architects, city permitting, utilities (water, waste water, electrical), possibly environmental studies depending on your municipality. 

If one of the units is not properly permitted and registered at the courthouse, the appraiser cannot include it as part of the living space.

I have used hypothications at my commercial bank.. they work great if you have the banking relationships.. mine were not for my lending company it was back in my timber days.. and it was common that I would need to sell my residual land that was left after the logging operation on Contract... usually 1 to 3 years.. in Oregon it can take a year or more to get a building permit out in the country.. 

Newark (where the University of Delaware is located) is going to be pretty expensive since the city is apparently no longer giving out rental permits in the neighborhoods surrounding the University.
