Zoning Ordinance ExceptionsSome properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.How could these properties get approval for development?

Additionally, we are approved with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

The high end is the 20 or so co ops on 5th Avenue or Park Ave (one is on East End Avenue) that require liquid assets of $100 million + to gain board approval.  

I would simply hire a good civil that has done development in that jurisdiction and pay for a feasibility study and let them run through all the check items.. but thats really just the start.. also for context .. these projects require 350 to 750k in CASH up front to get to approved plat status ..

But once I got the bills, I increased the rent with the tenant's approval and signed an addendum to the lease stating the rent increase would be X and the owner would take over utilities.

What types of IRS/CPA approved payments are working well for rents to LLC entities to keep personal and business funds from co-mingling? 

I know it would have helped me.Now that I am out from under these two properties I am waiting on a HELOC on my primary to get approved I will be getting right back on the horse but with much smaller rehabs.Below is the house that sold today.

In that case, you don't get the next month's rent until the following month assuming you pass in the next month.Upon approval, S8 will tell you and your tenant what S8 pays and the tenant's responsibility. 

This is also very good example of jurisdictions that have zoning and annexations that need voter approval its a great way to STOP development. 

You also mentioned meters, do you have to separate meters, get approval from the city and pull permits?
