I think the number one critical issue here is that, and I’m just discovering this for the first time, something as simple as getting your roof replaced, requires you to talk to so many building regulators, LADBS, inspectors, pre-inspection final inspection etc.? Just one wrong tick, causes you many wasted moments.

People think it is easy to just like buying an old house and flip it, but the truth is, because of inspections in getting permits, it is totally not worth it.
