What do you expect the city to do if you come in with a fixed location, fixed end use AND you don't want to spend any money.Talk to the city prior to closing and everyone will be happier. 

You can easily spend scores of hours dealing with this issue and may not have any success.It likely affects your property value more than a few hundred dollars.It may result in happier and longer term tenants.The risk is they tell all of their homeless buddies who now set up behind your rental in hopes of getting an easy $100.It is just moving the problem elsewhere but in this case the NIMBY can affect your finances. 

If the market goes up, I'm just that much happier.

As of this week I'm officially an agent with Keller Williams and I couldn't be happier.

For instance, I self-managed while living in the property, but found it more difficult once I moved out so I hired a PM and couldn't be happier with the decision.Lastly, I don't think you need to spend over $1m for a 3 / 4 family. 

I’ve got 5 that I manage remotely couldn’t be happier

We couldn't be happier about it.I know this doesn't compare to your situation, but I say it's a good idea to check into it, just make sure you do your homework.

We did everything ourselves, and couldn't be happier.
