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.
