Permitting question. HELP!

Danny P.

Posted

Hey y'all, I'm starting out on my first investment property, a fix and flip. I've done some of the demo myself and after deciding not to go with a GC because of the added cost, I've gathered together a good license electrician and plumber that I'm happy with and I'm close to being ready to get to work. When I went to look into obtaining a building permit, I found out that I can't pull the permit myself if the property is owned by my LLC and if I'm not going to live there. Now I don't know what to do. I've already signed a contract with my electrician and I don't want to just go back to the idea of hiring a GC to do the whole thing. I was planning to manage the job myself and hire the subs on my own. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Danny P.

1. Get your GC license

2. Put the property in your name

3. Pay a GC a fee to pull permit for you

4. Hire a GC
