I'm glad I didn't comment on your spelling or grammatical errors, @Jon Mccarthy.When I re-checked my own post I was frustrated at how the 'Spelling Prevention' software on either my iPad or the BP app had tweaked my spelling.

If you are doing renovation work that needs a permit, find out who your building/electrical/plumbing/HVAC inspectors are for the area you are working in.

try  rtacabinetstore I don't always buy from there but there software is pretty good if you don't have a cad program.But design looks good.  

1) i don't know of a state where performing a real estate function for another is legal without a license...so i would love to know which states permit that2) if you dont have a lease agreement, then you could be considered a squatter and even if that does not apply...you most likely have no recourse3) improvements are explained in a lease agreement and most of the time require owner approval and no reimbursements - improve at your own riskgood post with many lessons to be learned/

If so, how much for each permit x20=$$.This is obviously a c-d property.

Hi, I am wondering if any of you have seen or used an application or software which allows for a remote showing a property? 

Get a permit and hire a contractor to perform the work2.

This article is talking about Software developer and engineer salaries, not real estate, but I think it can easily be applied.http://tgeonetta.com/cost-of-living-vs-salary-best...There is a lot of talk on BP about where to get the best return, what states are better for investing, etc.

The lender will still add the last previous years together and dived by two and take the middle income.My advice to you si that you should find a top lender in your area, one that is been in business at least 12 years, meaning that he was in the business when the "creative" way of lending was done and can run numbers on his calculator, not input numbers in a computer software program and see what the automatic underwriting tells him. 

General handyman is also a must.Eventually, you will also need a licensed electrician, lawn care/snow removal person, licensed contractor (for pulling permits), masonry person, etc., etc.But first things first are the big 3.
