We have a truly radically left-wing county board that's been screwing the taxpayers every which way, their latest trick is to pass a "living wage" ordinance so that ANY project, contractor, anything connected with county gov't in any way has to pay at least $11 and some change per hour!

My question is would this configuration pass a city inspection?

I'm sure you can learn all of that by looking it all up and being active on BP, but having to learn the material and pass a test really makes sure you understand it.

Most places require a zoning fee with no guarantee your petition will pass. A

If they pass a regulation to allow rental after say 5 years of ownership it may not have a big impact.Do some digging and find out how many units total, and their respective length of ownership, and figure out the magic number to propose to the HOA with a minimum short term impact and make it known your plan B is to default.

I agree with the other posters - pass as an investment, and do not take possession under my idea, without cash and a contract in hand.

There is a town called Farmer's Branch in Texas that tried to pass a law making it illegal to rent to undocumented persons.

for the most part, i find my own tenants..occasionally,i've had another landlord or realtor pass a great tenant on to me..if i feel they're gonna be a great tenant, i usually compensate them with half the month's rent or something similar..let's them know i appreciat eit, and a good tennat is more than worth that in my opinion..now, i had a guy send a bad tenant a few years back,and i would never ever trust him to send a tenant my way again..his vouching for anyone's character would mean nothing to me after that fiasco...

He over inflated the worth of her house by about $20,000+ needless to say I had to let this pass as it was not a deal anymore.The other was a manufactured home which you could not own the land it sits on, just the home. it was a 55+ home and the HOA did not allow renters...

Ian, Virginia did pass a law about this that went into effect last July.
