I'm an investor and agent in Salt Lake City Utah and have had the same exact thoughts as you have.

Do I need to re-apply with the city? 

I think this city is target to that since population will keep coming due to house affordability (getting away from miami) If you're looking for quick flip , you may have to look for a different exit strategy as different houses here has similar condition , you have some competitors .... you can go either with price reduction strategy, partnerships or use creative finance strategyGood luck

Florence - Limited current regulation within city limits. 1 hour to Eugene & Airport.

I have been to the legislature and city council meetings to testify against the so-called ‘tenant protections’ that are damaging rental opportunities for marginal tenants.There is no “right answer” for you, but here are a few considerations.1.

Purchase price: $270,000 Cash invested: $10,000 4 bed one bath single family home in small town with great school district, about 10 minutes from major city on Front Range of Colorado.

I'm a 33-year-old software engineer residing in the New York long island area.

It is rural and 30 minutes outside of a major city, however, it does have a 20x30 shop that a tenant under the right circumstances might find desirable.

I have a rental in a new rural development that does not have city garbage pickup.

My guess is the city started poking around as he had already made it an apartment and wanted to get the city off his back.
