Transients would wander the streets and take tools from the yard when no one was looking.

IF the City does not limit to four total, there is a scenario where the City MAY allow up to 10 total units on single family zoned parcel

If they are separate, permits would have been pulled and the city will have records of those permits.  

I like starting small so maybe a food truck in 10 or so years :)I'm currently looking for investors to do what you did except focusing on commercial residential property in Kansas City.

I also have the same last name as Avery if that gives me any street cred lol.   

I work as an acquisitions associate with BPG Holdings, a local real estate investment fund in Alexandria, and also work as a realtor for our fund's brokerage team, assisting clients with investment properties in the D.C. metro area.I've recently created a series of reports focused on the city of Alexandria and its sub-market development prospects, which I believe alongside other macro trends will make the city an amazing buy-and-hold investment for real estate investors.

If it does not qualify for the EPP, then the project must go through the city’s standard building permit process.

You can also appeal directly with the local tax assessor office in your city.

I guess my next question is, why Kansas City? 

Does anybody have experience with that country and where is a good place to purchase, preferably out of city?
