i called the city of Tampa and talked to the division responsible for zoning for houses.

Now, of course, every city and state is different, but that is a red flag that it may not even be a real notice?

Get out of your comfort zone.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far here are the psychological red flags and possible pitfalls involved in the process of moving out of and then turning your old home into a rental property.

The Zoning allows building and there’s power in the road that fronts the property.

Get out of your comfort zone.

I have sellers of a t6-8 zoned property that would take 1 million right now I'm sure in Wynwood Norte. we can go 12 stories through max incentives and put 60 dwelling units on it. we entitle the land it becomes worth 3 million, then you have construction numbers, sale prices, etc. miami is crazy. the best way to make money from a professional in this industry for 13 years who lives in miami and looks at deals in columbus and miami is development and getting involved in early development opportunities of raw land in urban settings where there is very little risk and pushing high density.

You probably won't get caught are famous last words for many people with red cards on their properties before listing it, closing it to flip and sell, or to turn into rentals.

So welcome to the "New-Norm"; NEO-Stagflation: Throttled HIGHER price, throttle higher inflation always on cusp of breaking out to run red-hot and verge of cooling but never going either, lower volume, tight labor.... 

In fact, the only time we ever had an animal do more damage than the deposit was on a set of tenants that had red flags but we accepted them anyway against our better judgement.
