Do not forget to do the math analysis and try to look at your prospective properties before you make an offer or at least use a contingency clause in the purchase contract that gives you some time (about 10 days) to make an upfront detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.Follow up is crucial with potential customers as well as existing ones.  

If you find a flat lot, that is great, but make sure you do not have any wetlands, or a creek, or any other sensitive areas on the lot that could hinder your obtaining a building permit.

It's not specifically tailored to real estate but rather a blank slate you can customize for a variety of different uses. 

I am getting ready to renovate a home in Rowan county and need info about pulling a permit.  

We're trying to get a bid from a contractor that came highly recommended, but they're saying that since we need to pull city permits (we're redoing a kitchen and bathroom and adding a washer/dryer) we need detailed plans that will cost $2000.

When I look the property up on the county website it is zoned single family.It's an older home so I assume it has been divided and added to over the years, probably prior to rigorous permitting and zoning laws.I would like to ensure that everything is legal prior to possessing the property, and imagine I would need it to be so to use the rental income towards the loan.So I guess the questions are:Is it silly to think this could be re-zoned?

However, I do have many connections in the business since I am an Interior designer and custom home builder of luxury properties and do want a prestigious name to attach myself to.

Work with the trusted contractor- Wasted more than a few hundreds of dollars for nothing- Didn't pull the permit for Windows replacement which led the harder inspection#2.

I thought it would be better to go with the small business builders but they have terrible customer service and looking for a "custom homes" payday.

YellowLetters has better customization of letters, postcards, etc in my opinion.
