Greetings all,I have a background in construction engineering and management and I want to take on a role as a GC/Developer/Planner for new construction of a pre-fabricated home property.I'm planning on building multi-unit structures for rent in an urban lot, (I will have to get this lot re-zoned) but for the process of construction, I'm trying to determine which permits I absolutely need to obtain, and which inspections I need to conduct, and how much all of this is going to cost.In other words, I'm having difficulty in determining fact from fiction when it comes to inspections and permits, and distinguishing which ones I absolutely must obtain, and which ones are just "good to have."

We have to think other investors might be sending postcards and letters as well, so I would say we have to distinguish from the rest of the buyers.

I believe to send yellow letters can get results and a UPS letter could distinguish from the rest because it is more personalized.

Thirdly, in the future I would use possibly an expanded name, like David Roethlinsberger Roberts, to distinguish your self from other David Roberts.
