I was recently looking into wholesaling in PA around the Wilkes-Barre area and was wondering about the overall laws and regulations.

After reading through nyc.govs lengthy explanation on M1 zoning laws, I am still trying to figure out if we can do this or not.

I'm recently retired after a 30 year career in law enforcement.

Once you have steady employment, look for a place where STRs are allowed, with an in-law suite. 

I believe there’s opportunity in every corner of this business, and I want to make the most of it.Also figured I would reach out to likeminded people, the only family I have is the one I am creating I have my in-laws support as well so that is a help.

Proper notification and time line is dependent on state law.  

Your parents and you could probably use a really good Elder law atty in NY as well to look at how best to structure their ownership and passing to you.Nothing wrong with selling to a related party and completing a 1031 exchange. 

Because you are self servicing your loans most are not legally compliant with consumer protection laws and CFPB requirements such as sending statements on a monthly basis that have all the language the CFPB requires as well as each state may have additional requirements for sending out just a simple statement.

I'm being told that the area will have zoning laws within the next 5 years so I guess it would be who of me to get this thing going.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.
