It cost me circa $25K (don't forget insulation, drywall, and paint), and that was a second-floor in-law apt., not a basement, so easier to do.

But they will grant it if you follow everything to a T and get everything submitted on time (pretty short window if I recall).So it's not technically transfering the permit, but rather saying you will get first dibs on replacing the permit that's on its way out.

The “list it and forget it” phase worked when supply was fragmented and standards were low, but that window feels closed in most mature markets.I see this shift less as a threat and more as an opportunity, especially for smaller operators who are willing to act like operators instead of asset collectors.

Zillow offers potential tenants the ability to pay one fee and apply to multiple properties in a 30-day window. 

Too many newbies get the money lined up but forget to negotiate a 10-14 day inspection window in the offer.

During that window, experiment with your photos (try different lead images and rotation), refine your listing description, and watch what happens to your occupancy and booking pace.

Don't forget to check Drew's reviews...

But once the payments start rolling in like clock work you forget about the initial crawl.  4.

A roof can last 25-30 years, windows 30-50 years, HVAC 20-30 years, kitchens 30-50, flooring 30-50 etc - if everything looks 1980s or older you'll get hit with everything at once.

At the end of this six-year period, there will be a two- year window in which to update the plan document.Your plan provider should take care of this with nothing required by you other than review and signing the new docs when they've been restated.
