Thank you for advice!

Do you think my age will impact my authority as a landlord?

I have a tenant who lives in my very nice three bedroom unit whose lease provides a pet authorization for “one dog, one cat and one rabbit.”

In our area, the housing authority does annual inspections to (mostly making sure the landlord is keeping up the units) review the tenant and the landlord. 

Unfortunately, I’ve run into a major issue: I received a Stop Work Notice on my property in Covington, GA, because I didn’t have the proper permits for the renovations.I want to resolve this as quickly and smoothly as possible without jeopardizing the project.Can anyone offer advice or share their experience with:1.How to address the Stop Work Notice with the local authorities?

I don’t know how 2 people got 3 homestead exemptions but that seems like something the local taxing authority could catch pretty easy.

I agree with that advice.

My goal for this post is more about getting advice/insight from people who have already done it.

If anyone has advice—whether it’s general tips or insights about these markets—I’d really appreciate it!
