Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Norman, OK

Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma, and investors buy single-family houses and duplexes near campus to rent to students and staff, along with newer houses farther out. The blocks closest to campus include the Chautauqua, Miller and Southridge historic districts, where exterior changes need city approval. The city also licenses short-term rentals and requires a floodplain permit for any work in its mapped floodplains.

Good to know

Before you buy in Norman

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Norman and Cleveland County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Get an annual short-term rental license before you advertise: it costs $150 plus a $50 inspection fee, and hosts must pay the city's hotel tax every month.
  • Get a floodplain permit, then a building permit, for any work in a mapped floodplain. Work costing 50% or more of the building's market value counts as a substantial improvement, and an Elevation Certificate is needed before occupancy.
  • In the Chautauqua, Miller and Southridge historic districts, get a Certificate of Appropriateness before any exterior change, including new windows, doors, fences or paving, and before any demolition.
