Hello Lisa, I'd recommend reaching out directly to the planning department.

My plan is to develop five 1,200 SF units, allowing tenants to lease multiple units if they require more space.Recently, a 62,000 SF medical building from a Reputed Hospital Name opened directly across the property, which reinforced my belief that a medical office setup would be a strong fit for this location.

Hopefully we can get some good information as far as which direction we need to go from here.

Additionally, as a co-owner, he would directly benefit from any appreciation, tax deductions, and profits from the property.On the downside, being on the loan could impact his credit score, especially if there are any missed payments or financial issues.

I suggest running an analysis and just sharing it here on BP.I am also happy to hop on a call and point you in the right direction based on some of my experiences- no matter what, keep at it...this stuff takes time.If you get a deal here in Chicago and need to partner up, I am your guy!

DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!

Another neat little piece of VA loans is that they can allow for higher DTI ratios than conforming/fha loans because they primarily rely on residual income and not directly on DTI (it's complicated, but this will do for now).

That's directly related to the interest rate. 

Once verifying see if you can talk to the buyer directly & explain the 90-day flip rule and see if the buyer is willing to wait 2 weeks before submitting his offer. 

Users may decide it's too much trouble and sleep directly on the couch leading to stains.
