A quick synopsis: We got our zoning approved through the city, we then had to get a variance because we want to run an 8 bed facility but the International Building Code would have had that be a "Commercial" property and would've needed to be compliant with all of the ANSI requirements like having an accessible main floor bathroom and 2 accessible main floor bedrooms, this would've been cost prohibitive to us.

Homeowner's and flood insurance can be considerably lower than in other coastal areas, especially in comparison to States with prohibitive property insurance markets such as Florida.

It may be state specific, for instance Texas prohibits naming the owner along with LLC I think???

Anything above 10+ units is generally a minimum of 30-35% down but the rates at present are prohibitive.

As long as the military doesn't have any prohibition on you having a house/apartment as your "residence", then I don't see any reason you couldn't.

Bagley is a good area, but getting pricey.Boston Edison is prohibitively expensive for rentals - you won't get enough rent vs acquisition price. 

Our whole economy is based on that.That being said, when you deal in REO's, banks can impose deed restrictions that prohibit resale for period of time, but there are ways around those, too.  

This is ingrained in us because the NAR Code of Ethics prohibits us from soliciting business from another realtor's clients, but there's also a certain protocol and level of professional courtesy involved, and listing agents expect to hear from the buyer's agent if the buyer is represented.I've also had instances where a seller inadvertently sent documents directly to the other agent before I reviewed them, and it ended up costing them time and money.

Double digit loans of $250-500k can be both cost and qualifying prohibitive.
