It's not unusual for non-borrowing family to be present during the conversation.

Hi @Patrick Boutin,I suspect that you will get a lot farther keeping your agent in your corner and fighting for you than you will by beating your agent up.Take a look at these two pictures below, tell me if you think this is likely to happen when your agent is only putting 60% effort in because you gave them a 40% pay cut:Initial purchase contract....Addendum a few weeks later (actually just came in yesterday)....In the alternative world where you give your agent a pay cut, to $8k instead of $13k (2.5% is not unusual at this price point), did you really save money?

They actually left on January 30th instead of New Years Day which I though a bit unusual.

Hey, I recently closed on my first deal in Washington, which turned out to be quite an unusual property.

I've seen owners fill up a building to prep it for a sale before, so that's not that unusual, unfortunately. 

He runs a business so is this something that's not that unusual when you run a business?

Or you can choose to prohibit tenants from removing them in the first place, although in single family homes, if they are not built in, this would be an unusual requirement.Many landlords do not furnish moveable appliances in single family homes, or even multifamily.

Is that unusual?  

Is this unusual?

My guess is that if you sold it off-market to a private party it would matter less, but then you'd have less exposure of course.The biggest issue I've noticed about properties where the zoning is odd/unusual/not what you'd expect based on the current usage, is that often they are in very not-great areas.For example, the property you're talking about, would not surprise me if it's on a short street and next to or across from an abandoned / boarded-up factory, railroad tracks, etc. and all the properties on that short street are either vacant or in rough shape.I'm not just being pessimistic, I've researched a lot of properties and the few times these zoning mismatches pop up, seems more often than not to be a situation like that.So to me the issue isn't the zoning per se, it's that the zoning itself is an indicator of something else that's less desirable about the property, such as what's around it.The Providence zoning code is online and in the Industrial Districts section defines Light Industrial (M-1) as: "The M-1 light industrial district is intended for light industrial and office park uses that accommodate a variety of manufacturing, assembly, storage of durable goods, and related activities provided that they do not pose toxic, explosive or environmental hazard in the city."
