There are a couple of things that I would think about here, the timeframe you want to work with this agent (can be 1 month or 2 months or a longer time), whether you could do it for a specific area/city/town, or you could do it for a couple of properties you see.

So, you go over budget FAST.So, your Scope of Work (SOW) MUST be very specific as Mr Perez learned when contractor didn't put in new outlets.To "perfect" your SOW, suggest you walk the property with 3 contractors and ask them what needs to be done.

Assumptions: specifically allowed in city ordinances, mobile home manufacturing in the area, or that someone heavily marketed that area as a retirement location in the past. 

If, however, you are not specifically looking for me to be nice and would like me to be honest instead, I'll say that using tools like your app completely misses the point and should be avoided, outside of as a teaching tool.

Deals are location and market specific.2.  

Call the zoning department again, and this time ask specific questions: Is a variance required, or can you proceed as-is?

I'm not an attorney or expert in AP specifically, but do have a working knowledge of it for Civil engineering/survey work and have had two projects where this came up and I was able to 'ride along' and see how it unfolded.First, if you 'know' the property has been taken by AP then there's nothing for you to do with the tax assessor etc.

USPS specifically forbade from doing anything like this years ago.

@Pedro Martins,Sorry - it's not based on any specific type of loan.

if you have an LLC and both properties are under it, you just need 1 operating account.If both are under your personal, 1 bank account specifically for the rental is enough for operating.Security Deposits should always be a separate account altogether.
