Hello JC,I am not an expert in DC specific zoning but I have a lot of experience with the zoning code in Charlottesville VA. 

I also own another unit in the same building, and no other tenants have ever complained about inadequate heating.I’ve advised her to keep the heat on 24 hours a day, as the lease specifies that the tenant is responsible for paying for heating costs.

Properties also have specific risks depending on if they are industrial spaces, commercial buildings or multi-family units.

What specific markets are you considering?

Specifically, creating a video that other agents in your market can use to post. 

Looking for a STR agency/Agent or Property Manager to look for properties to rent in the greater Charleston area, specifically, Summerville, Beaufort or Mt.

I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.

If you need a referral to an excellent agent who works exclusively with STRs in that specific market, I can refer ours  I'm an agent, but yes I am in contact w/ one out there familiar w/ STRs. thanks for asking. 

This would be cheaper and a better interest rate.If you want to talk through specific on the deal I am more than happy to but I think it would be easier by phone as there are always many details to talk through with each property.
