These homes would be 1/1 and 2/1 high energy efficient homes.The theory behind these is to create affordable housing with a reduced carbon footprint that can be owned by the typical person that would rent.As an investor do you see this as a viable opportunity?

In residential they should be doing both inside and outside demensions, and there usually is some variance with assessors records as some assessors use the footprint including overhangs.

So, I'm expecting/hoping that the little bit less nice street is accommodated for by the larger footprint and that our exit is around the same price or maybe a bit higher if we can get it finished during selling season.

The reason is there are many issues to research, like the actual cash flow of the business, environmental concerns, zoning, etc.

In more complex transactions there are other approval clauses such as getting permits or entitlement approvals, environmental studies or details evaluations of mechanical systems.You posted in the Rehabbing and House Flipping forum.

The *footprint* of each level is 1333 sf (about 12 sf bigger on the second level due to a bump-out).

Environmental issues can be expensive so if they don't want them I probably don't either.I can find a sale transaction and take control of a property and pass it on using less than money for a tax lien.Heck, I can get an option on a note, get the loan refinanced, buy the note in a double closing arrangement and get a return on my investment that circles the moon easier than buying a tax lien, waiting and hoping, but that's me.It may be a hot aspect in some other places, it's another way to make money but it never got my engines revving.I'll go listen now, always up for anything new. :)

So this is a very, err, exotic question, but what I'm looking for is this:Reconstructable structures for a beach club.The thing is France has had some legislation passed which abolishes beach clubs (think Saint Tropez) that are kept all year round in "environmentally sensitive zones" (i.e. everywhere).They still allow licenses on leased beach land during the season (april-october) but outside of that, they need to magically disappear.Save from having a 400.000 EUR write-off every year, I believe there has to be another way.

Look for warranty companies which are more than 5 yrs old and which have a nationwide footprint.

Towing, minimum housing standards, noise, trash disposal, permitting and code enforcement, environmental issues, the list goes on and on.
