Splitting hairs here I know but I usually factor one month vacancy per year as 8.4% = 30.66 days.

Information about the land and building is that the building sits on 1.3 acres and the building is 11,080 sqft. three of the four businesses in there have been there forever and the fourth is a hair salon that just started.

By the way, I am also a recent (December) transplant to the Greater Atlanta area.

Thanks, Jeanne *pronounced G-knee like "I dream of Jeanie", "Genie in a bottle", "Jeanie with the light brown hair" - all things I have heard my whole life :) 

I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs but some banks write HELOCs in their residential department....which won't write Investment Properties.

In Florida, it is harder to become a hair dresser than a RE agent...and yes, I'm an agent.

(a health, environmental, public nuisance and waste, liability among others issues,)Even if the lease doesn't directly disallow a business from R-1 there will be in contract something addressing tenant's responsibility to protect the landlord property , not creating waste, commit public nuisance, or damage.I would have no problem to a good, responsible tenant for use the residence address for ex. handyman or plumber since he does not physically conduct his business from the home, and all his tools might be in his truck or rented storage, but I still would make sure that I am not being liable for loss, damage to his tools...and request he has a rental insurance, compliance with city regulations.Conducting online seminars is not the same as doing a hair extension, or running car repairs shop from R-1.  

Its looking like I'll be a transplant from Tx to AK.

.(:))When you get bigger, then you can worry about splitting hairs.
