It's usually best to talk with your neighbors about your plans and get their support as one of the variance tests is that the requested relief does not cause a public health issue or alter the essential character of the neighborhood.Try googling "tests for a variance in [your state]" and talk with your local zoning department.

I plan to refinance in two to three year once rates come down a bit.That said, I need to be very confident in my numbers on the hotel, since I'm putting risk on my other properties and essentially wiping out their cash flow.Happy to connect.

Your realtor should be the first source of guidance.For anyone here to provide you some guidance, you have to be more specific on the ask.There are always many things to consider when planning for different strategies.

CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot.  

@Kenneth Joseph Perfido If you’ve moved to a new state and plan to conduct business there, you generally have two options: register your existing LLC as a foreign LLC in the new state or form a new LLC in the new state.

Some other factors to consider - How long are you planning to hold this property?

If it’s an older property or has deferred maintenance, you might want to lean toward the higher end.When it comes to CapEx (capital expenditures), planning for major replacements like roofs, HVAC systems, and appliances is key.

My plan is to start with house hacking, but I have some concerns.

Quote from @Matthew Samson: @Corby Goade yep, that sounds like a plan.

This knowledge is crucial when planning co-living projects.Engage with Local Authorities: Work with city planners and zoning boards to advocate for more inclusive definitions that accommodate co-living arrangements.Monitor Legal Developments: Keep an eye on legal scholarship and policy discussions that may influence zoning reforms favorable to co-living.By staying informed and proactive, real estate investors can navigate the complexities of zoning laws and contribute to the evolution of housing policies that support diverse living arrangements.For a deeper dive into these discussions, you can read the full articles here:Bloomberg: Why Are Zoning Laws Defining What Constitutes a Family?
