The lender would probably give you an extension until you could sell it.

If you really want to move forward hire an architect that has dealt extensively with the City.

There is no magic number only extensive study and acquired knowledge.

By extension, an entity you fully control is also disqualified.

Some of my rental properties have extensive damages outside, such as down trees, fence collapsed, sheds blown over and none of those are covered since they are not part of the main structures.

Starting November 4, 1992, districts must have voter approval in advance for:(a) Unless (1) or (6) applies, any new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy above that for the prior year, valuation for assessment ratio increase for a property class, or extension of an expiring tax, or a tax policy change directly causing a net tax revenue gain to any district.’This is obviously a new tax which has been levied without voter approval.

So far so good, we listed with an agent who has extensive experience in rentals.
