There were also some small set backs.

Many businesses can be verified through their state's regulatory agency.

Even if it is in an area with zero setbacks (unlikely outside of an urban downtown), there are generally zoning regulations that dictate Floor Area Ratio.

But I now realize that the text in your post fully describes the way I feel about some people running the regulatory institutions, including the top dogs in Washington.

Have you checked the local ordinances on density, setbacks, parking requirements, etc.?

The site has 2 side interiors so can the setbacks be on 5 feet on either side?

I buy homes all the time where the structure encroaches on a easement or across a building setback line. 

Technically EVERYONE is supposed to get your explicit consent to run your credit if you do not already have an account with them (a "soft pull" is when an existing creditor is a "subscriber" to your credit, gets a fresh copy on a monthly basis, and double clicks to open it... you don't know this is done just like you don't know who opens your yellow letters, if you send them), but mortgage lenders face greater regulatory scrutiny, so we tend to actually follow the rules. - No one has a perfect credit score.- If you do not have a perfect credit score, but have unblemished credit, the credit reporting agencies still MUST give 3 reasons why you do not have a perfect credit score. 815 v 795 is normal month to month variance.

This does give some regulatory uncertainty to those investors looking to buy a property for an Airbnb/STR.

Will owning a financial commitment like an SFR loan place my company into a different status with regard to new fiducial/regulatory/reporting obligations?
