If it is a specially permitted (or excepted) use, you need to go before the P & Z Commission (which holds hearings weekly) and demonstrate that the proposed accessory apartment does not negatively impact public health and safety (as further defined by the regulations).

Something to keep in mind when you select your next property...If you're going to do another FHA loan, you'll have to demonstrate that you'll be owner occupied in this next property as well.

[I'm a small investor from Tel Aviv, Israel, investing mainly in Israel and Central-Eastern Europe]Investment Info:This is a very (very) small deal, but thought to share it since it demonstrates relatively high ROI and utilizing available resources. 

(CRMC).These are companies that have been audited by the National Association of Residential Property Managers and have demonstrated a high standard for both procedures and customer service.Again, I believe the best way to find a good property manager is to seek a property manager out and has invested in advanced training and education and has attained designations, usually they also have years of experience.

The RULE demonstrates that the MARKET and the MATH is telling you that something is wrong with either the market or the property. 

Those kinds of questions will help them to build their demonstration of investment intent.

  (2) demonstrates a more 'effective' use of liquid assets; you got more bang for  the buck than in (1) AND still have more to work with to boot.Some are debt adverse, but in economics, debt is also a tax advantage while that dead equity in (1) is - - just that - - dead and of no value.

@Pat L.I missed the 19%, but our first mortgage was at 16.8 - a tough five years, but is is what got me looking into variable rate mortgages.There was a historical study of mortgage rates in the Canadian market from post WWII until the late 1990s which demonstrated that if you took any 25-year period [the most common amortization in Canada] and compared 5-year term variable and fixed rate mortgages within the 5 decades of the study the borrower always came out ahead going with the variable rate.Now, with 15 & 30yr terms available in the U.S., I expect there would be times when locking into a fixed-rate long-term mortgage would have been advantageous, but I would expect there would have been as many or more times when it would have not been advantageous.
