I checked into the zoning and it does need to be re-zoned (currently for 2 families, I'm not terribly sure of the process to get re-zoned and what factors the city takes into account to accept or deny such a request), but where do I find the other info (if hypothetically it could be re-zoned)?

I'm assuming the house will have to be re-appraised, and I'm also assuming the value will go up, as the kitchen and bathroom and garage were all gutted and re-done in 2009/2010.

My CapEx is indeed on the conservative side and I haven't gone through the home inspection but I think $100 would actually be re-allocated to Lawn/Snow and set it at $200.The reason I am jumping on this particular deal is because I could be getting the house at the appraised value minus 6% (because we aren't paying realtor commissions if he sells to me).

I recently joined bigger pockets and in the few months that I've been a member I have learned a ton of useful information.  

Hi, I am buying a new rental property out of state and will be relying heavily on a property management to run daily operations for me.There are tenants already in the property and a property manager in place that the seller is currently using.Should I just continue with the same management company (considering the tenants are familiar with them) or use my agent as the new property manager (since he knows the property well and I have worked with him closely for a month now) or look for a completely fresh property management .Can someone please help me understand what’s the best thing to go with??

Alternatively, they could be re-wiring or re-plumbing an entire house and really make a ton of profit.

The social security program is a ponzi scheme and should not be relied on.

Basically if property is passed down through family, it may be eligible to not be re-assessed for property taxes. 

If your community has a rental inspection program, does it need to be re-certed or does the existing cert suffice?
