Here is the situation: I found a good multi-family home in upstate NY.

I'd be happy to provide some recommendations and suggestions for your situation as a foreign citizen living in Miami.First, it's important to have a good understanding of the local real estate market, including pricing trends and neighborhood dynamics.

And the key to getting the information you need is working with a pro to see what’ll work best for your situation.2.

The challenge we're facing is the lack of short term rental data for the appraiser, and we won't know if it will meet the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) requirements until the appraisal is complete.Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

.: Quote from @Chris Allen: Long story short, I am in a difficult situation with a property of mine and need to get rid of property.

When you invest, it is a good idea to have a 5-10 year hold horizon that you are planning for, not just looking at the immediate situation in an area. 

In that case, you’d typically need to file a legal challenge, which could involve going to court and showing that the restriction is unnecessary or unreasonable.The best advice I can give would be to consult a real estate attorney to understand your specific situation and options.

This is dependent on your personal situation and strategy.

Those situations go bad more often than not, costing you money and the friendship.

Just depends upon the situation I guess!
