Increase down payment, then you won't be in the red.

South Philadelphia's base zoning districts are not very accommodating either.

The death is just a red herring.

Insitutional demand in Charlotte made it red hot last year, and there are some large tech companies entering the Raleigh area.

Check zoning first before you go all in.  

Currently under contract for a large off-market residential property.Quick details: 4,200+ sqft 12bed / 5bath (2 kitchens) (No a flood zone)(Light - Medium rehab / rent-by-the-room play)My partner has been a PM in this community for 20+ years and is highly confident in this deal (as am I).The current issue is, we aren't confident the property can close with a bank due to a few seller complications.( ^Very long story, but if you want to hear it I will tell you haha)We're looking to over-raise about $335k ($255k purchase and $80k for the rehab).But we (and our contractors) know the rehab portion will come in a bit lower.Can anyone point me in the right direction?

And the Milwaukee major wants to grow its population by more than 60% by changing the zoning law (project Growing MKE) opening up the sea of low density single family zoning to townhomes, mixed use, MF and ADU's. 

Very few actually understand the various nuances of investing in Philadelphia along with the zoning, licensing & regulations.

Small slivers of land, lots too small to build on, no water, no power, landlocked, flood zone, dump sites, no sewer, but too small to add septic, around where I live counties require a certain amount of road frontage so people won't put mobile homes, so you can buy OTC without the required road frontage and lot could be more or less worthless....can't build on it,  and all other kinds of issues. 

It's zoned by the county as RD-2, which has a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft.
