Jon what your minimum investment and can you work with self directed ira?

What are cost associated with getting a separate meter for water? What is the process and cost?

Answer to your tile question. If you are removing drywall in the shower/bath tub area a permit is required. Most will update the plumbing since it is open. Second backer board inspection and screw. Most of the time you can get away with it. But a permit is required.

So to answer your question. Each local jurisdictions is different in enforcement. If your inspectors is commenting on the issue I recommend you listen to him. But in almost everything local jurisdictions the intent is for you to occupy the property.

This is a slippery slope. This is for California. If you are a homeowners you can pull permits to do the work yourself. However you must sign a affidavit stating you are not contracting any work out and doing all the work yourself. There are exceptions. The intent is to occupied the property. However you run into homeowners that contract work out and not do all the work or hire unlicensed contractors. To save on money. Then sale or rent out. If you sale or rent out your consider a contractor and should be licensed. The rules are different and some local jurisdictions enforce it more than others. Your permit can be revoked and legal action can be brought against you. The next time you pull a permit as a home owner builder read the permit affidavit regarding what your are signing. Here is a sample one. Google homeowner permit affidavit. Homeowner’s Affidavit for Building Permit Please Note: Homeowners who obtain their own building permits (sometimes referred to as “homeowner’s permits”) thereby assume various significant obligations and responsibilities. If you have any questions regarding your obligations and responsibilities under a Building Permit issued to you as a homeowner, please contact the Building Department at This Affidavit is required pursuant to Chapter 547 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Shaker Heights.

WASHINGTON
Title companies, independent escrow companies, lenders, and attorneys may handle escrows. An attorney must prepare real estate documents, but there is a limited practice rule which lets licensed non-attorneys prepare most of the commonly used real estate documents. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Both deeds of trust with private power of sale and mortgages are used as security instruments. Mortgages require judicial foreclosure. Deeds of trust require that a notice of default be sent first and 30 days later, a notice of sale. The notice of sale must be recorded, posted, and mailed at least 90 days before the sale, and the sale cannot take place any earlier than 190 days after the actual default. Sellers generally pay the title insurance premiums and the revenue tax; buyers and sellers split everything else. Property taxes are payable April 30th and October 31st. Washington is a community-property state.

I dont think overhead door is licensed to do that work. You will need a structural engineer for using lvl beams. Questions, do you have structural cals for the work? Are you planning on getting a permit.

I think you are too vague. In some states a attorney is required and other agent. What state are you from? What are you trying to do?
