If your planning on listening to keyboard warriors on here to explain the process, you're gonna get a lot of bad info...some good, but some bad.

They found it out, andI had to go to the planning board and zoning board, hire an engineer and architect to make the fourth unit legal.In my opinion, the realtor should have verified the zoning, and if you used bank financing, it's pretty rare for the bank to miss it as well.You are probably going to have to hire an architect to draw plans and to get it approved as a triplex.I wish you luck.

Their plan is to raise rents (on the poor remaining souls, improve infrastructure and exert some sweat equity.

I wouldn’t purchase anything out of state without first getting a thorough inspection, establishing a trusted team on the ground, and having a solid exit strategy in case things don’t go as planned.

It should be relatively straightforward to begin discussing the goal-setting and planning process necessary to begin transitioning from current state to future state. 

The longest delay is the floor plans.
