Do You REALLY Need a Permit? (Justin Dossey)

REIClub | Real Estate Investing Podcast

When you're flipping a house, do you REALLY need to pull a permit?

On Justin's first flip he didn't pull a permit and tried to do his renovations quickly, which makes for a great story for us to learn from. Let's just say his answer to the age old question has flipped around since that deal.

Justin is the head of Ballpoint Marketing and Call Porter, two companies they use in their own real estate investing businesses (operating in multiple states) that you can put to work in your business as well.
