If you can't do that, they make boxes you can put over the themostats in your tenants apartment, you can set it to room temperature and lock the box. 

I'm looking to identify a builder with the following characteristics:1) Eager to grow his/her company and reputation in the market2) Has produced at least five high quality builds in Arizona which are at least 4K sq ft  3) Has proven track record of completing builds in a timely manner4) Personal capital to allocate to projects (optional, but ideal)Please reach out to me if you or someone you know might fit these criteria. are you set that you want luxury?

Make sure you have roles and responsibilities set up.

If not, then the path of least resistance is to simply adjust your vision so it fits better into the lot, as-is. :) A zoning change can take up to 6 months, approval isn't guaranteed (despite Aldermanic support), and potentially cost a lot of money (architectural site / floor plans & dimensioned elevations, zoning attorney, holding costs, etc.) 

I did a rebuttal on a few 1007's and had them adjusted. 

The current tenant was already in place when I purchased the building, and their lease is set to expire in a few months.

@Grace Tapfuma Grace, love the ambition—setting a goal like a triplex by the end of the year means you're already ahead of most people who just ‘think’ about getting into real estate.

It’s much easier to adjust the price downward than to raise it.The agent with the higher price likely has a stronger understanding of the local market and property values in that area.

A CPA familiar with local STR regulations can definitely help make sure you’re set up correctly!

Because their investments do NOT have a higher enough ROI adjusted for risk.
