Hello all-I’m trying to turn this temporary setback into a positive opportunity.

It seems that all zoning and setback rules will allow this.  

There will definitely be new laws, but so far it looks like they're going to make it slightly easier in areas where it is not currently (rezoning as mentioned), they may even promote the process in some way, and there may actually be a housing regulatory overhaul in general that will affect all rentals (long and short-term (though that is quite a ways off)).As with long-term rentals, there are plenty of "slumlords" on the Airbnb side.

It can be done, it is actually not that difficult, but there will be some risks and set backs along the way.

Purchase price is about half a million and the lot has no setbacks, the building footprint can cover the entire lot up to the side walk.

Great realtor to back into values2. builders to get idea of vertical sq ft costs3. land planner/ engineer for the city county state permitting process.So I find out the big rocks.. then hone in a property that seems good.put it into contract .. then I hire a consulting engineer land planner to do a feasablity study.. if your an existing bigger client they usually do them for free .. in exchange to get your work.but most likely you will have to pay for it.. 5 to 10k is what you can expect.this will include what needs to be done for regulatory approvals.will include environmental hurdles IE who you have to hire / do yo need a wetlands study etc.basic take off on infrastructure costs..

If you buy right you should be able to weather a set back in rents.

Legal probably meets the current setbacks of a park, legal non confirming you can sometimes have issues.  

I'm also open to providing insight to others in the regulatory/land entitlement process.

Trying to navigate the regulatory waters and see what hoops we would have to jump through to list a 4Bdrm house as an Air BnB and am finding some conflicting/confusing information.
