 Hey Matthew, thanks for the input.  I will look into that route as well.

Chris, thank you so much for the response and information.  Would Residential always mean it is rentable?  Or are there certain types of residential codes that prohibit the renting of the property?  I am looking at foreclosed homes to fix up and rent out and the agent isn't always clear as it may be sold on auction.com or the like.  Where would I find the Property Card in a situation where there is not a clearcut agent selling the home?

Hello all, this is first post ever..apologies if this is somewhere on the site but i cannot find it.

I need some basic info on Zoning:  where to find it, what the zoning classification means, what I have to do to get a variance or change the zoning all together (additionally what are options with variances vs. zoning classification).  It is tough to get this type of information in a broad sense because it depends on the local municipality but I need a starting point.  I don't want to put an offer in on a house only to find out I cannot rent it or it is historical or some other snafu I didn't think about or know existed.  To make things a bit tougher i live in NYC and am investing in upstate NY so I cannot simply walk to the courthouse and ask these questions.

Thanks for your help I really appreciate any feedback.
