Nowadays, there are a bunch of lenders that claim to be NonQM lenders but so many restrictions.

When you reach out to the city, you should inquire about the specific permits needed for renovating a burned home, any special requirements or restrictions, and any inspections that may need to be done during the renovation process.

I mentioned deed restrictions, and right of first refusal.

However, you could look outside of city limits, and just within jurisdiction of the county, and avoid zoning restrictions altogether.

If propane are there any HOA/zoning regulations that prohibit or restrict those tanks, especially above ground. 

In an urban/city you can expect STR restrictions, unreasonable regs (sometimes) and an overall dislike of STRs in general.

Portfolio lenders often have restrictions on the average value per property and also your experience.

Additionally, It is noteworthy that the seller was a member of the HOA board at the time of obtaining this permit, raising questions about the legitimacy of the process.Though I am not currently residing in the apartment, I took the initiative to rectify the flooring issue in cooperation with the HOA, given the significant disturbance experienced by the current residents due to the subpar quality of the previous labor.Furthermore, short after I bought the unit, I discovered an assessment imposed on the condominium, which I was not informed about prior to purchasing the unit.

Does this community have an HOA or rental restrictions?

The building as a whole needs work also so I'm just trying to figure out if there are any restrictions that'll prevent me from doing rehabs on those vacant units while the other ones are still occupied.
