However, I had to subordinate the sellers note to 2nd position (hint: set up that language in advance to streamline the process, if that's the direction you're going to go).Since the ARV was high enough, and the potential income would support the mortgage and expenses, it all worked out. 

So far the process is simple. 

We have sold a few properties and experiencing this process from the seller's side double underlined that for me. 

After the operator exceeds 90 days in a calendar year, the conditional use permit process must be started.

It can be discouraging for newcomers.Solution: Develop resilience and learn to view rejection as part of the process.

This would be an easy decision however I do not think you can come close even with you being active in the process.  

Any advice or insights into the process would be greatly appreciated. 

The best strategy I seem to have deployed so far was to contact all my current tenants and let them know I’d give them a cash referral fee of $250 for anyone they recommend to me that goes through the vetting process and successfully moves in.

One housing authority wouldn’t even entertain the request, while another was open to it because it was an affordable housing property, requiring just an application for the exemption.From my experience, dealing with government agencies, especially when trying to save money or get financial benefits, can be a slow process.

Also your permitting process, type or land, grade of land, if underpinning is required will all play a factor into your cost.
