investing a property in POR zoning

[Joon Hui Yoon]

Hi all,

I am looking at a property in POR (Professional Office Residential) zoning, in central NJ. It has an office space in the first floor and residential space in 2nd and 3rd floors. I have the following questions:

1. Is it possible for us to use the office space and rent out the residential units, preferably mid-term rental? 

2. do I need to ask for a permit for this strategy? 

3. can I get a conventional mortgage on this property?

I asked these questions to several brokers/agents but nobody replied so I will appreciate any of your help/advice.

thank you in advance.

Best,

Joon
