I did one on a doctors office I bought and my CPA did it..

He's paid the sheriffs office twice and they haven't got them out.

We meet with the tenants at our office.

@Vito DiIennaWhile I have not had to get a Letter of No Objection myself, if I had to do it, I would go right the the DOB, go into the Office that you can get an official Cert of Occupancy and ask them what is the procedure to get the letter.Normally, you will need to provide evidence.

Might also try one of the stock brokerages that has intl offices as well like Schwab or Fidelity.I would also get it here in the bank account and ready to spend, before you do much work with them. 

very simple go to the county planning department office show them the map and ask them if surface drilling is allowed in their zoning code..

I work as an investment officer for my 9-5, so I'm always looking to see if the numbers work before I make an offer. 

Maybe it's a non-profit who wants to turn it into a community garden and somehow got a grant and greased some wheels in the planning office?

For me personally, I would leave it a loft so the renter could have a playroom for kids, office space, family room, etc.

I am a loan officer so I could be able to help you navigate this.
