Zoning Ordinance ExceptionsSome properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.How could these properties get approval for development?

I read that one of the requirements for getting your second FHA loan is having a change in family size.

In addition to that, the septic tank is undersized for the size of the home.

Was the condo a good size unit and in good condition?  

Get you ducks in a row before committing.Also, not an expert in that area, but I cannot believe that a cabin double the size will do the same revenue. 

So, what is your loan size? 

Get an estimate from a GC to get a good idea of what is required.Market Comparables: Check what similar-sized homes with finished basements or additional bedrooms are appraising for in your area.

Unit size is 1000 SF with an assumed $105 SF cost to build, (Cheap considering there will be no GC costs). 

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

Most lenders may limit your max loan size if you do not hit a certain cash flow thresh hold.
