Just food for thought.

Our farm animals were left with no food in the dead of winter. 

You would need new approvals from Regional Planning and Building & Safety for the re-conversion to meet applicable single-family residential development standards under Title 22 (Zoning) of the County Code.”I asked to see the actual covenant document but was given only sample language.

FHA is tough on a few things like "Chipped paint" any signs of chipped paint will stop financing and need to be addressed (Painted), Loose or missing hand railings, Water damage, Mold, Termites, Outdated electrical or any wiring that is exposed.FHA will also stop you dead in your tracks if the appraisal shows anything that is considered a "hazard or safety issue" and must be fixed.

But that's why businesses exist, I mean why go to a restaurant when you could grow your own food and cook at home.  

If you said that the property is in another state, then I'm assuming you may have to catch a flight, rent-a-car, food, etc....which will easily cost you more money than just hiring an inspector outright. 

Don't do this, of course, if the tenant has safety concerns or if you think the tenant will not have the unit in good condition for a showing.

I work a full-time job, a side gig as a food delivery driver, moderate for BiggerPockets, gym, family, friends, & etc, but I still self-manage my properties usually from my cell phone, lol!

Hospitality still seems to be thriving.How about food costs? 

I'm looking at the protocol to register and then have the safety and lead risk inspections, fix any issues and ultimately get the certificate of compliance for 3 years, then repeat.
