Even if they're under a current lease, those do come up for renewal.I'd find a way to call this tax out as a specific line item in your leases, just to stick a finger in the town's eye.

Hey guys,Looking to purchase my first investment property soon, and I'm strongly considering investing in  a fixer upper in an up and coming part of town.

The best advice i can offer is to go online and google your towns specific county website and look up map zoning for _______ area in your town some results should pop up for that county.

I would like to do the BRRRR strategy if possible, but at a minimum want to purchase a SFH buy and hold in my market.I have networked and lined up most of my "team", now trying to establish a relationship with a local bank in town. 

Then explore deals by networking with others on the site (connect with people that post deals in the marketplace) and in local REIAs. 

The town asked that an occupancy certificate be obtained requiring an inspection.  

The dangers of both options are obvious, and who knows when, or if, we will get back to the cap rates we have seen in the past.Just my perspective but I have maintained my minimum return requirements while exploring some additional options. 

Welcome to town!

It may depend on the town, see what it says for boarding houses/ in laws in your town.

Each town is different.
