since as part of the project you are going to need an architect and civil engineer, I recommend starting with them and ask them who they have worked with for zoning.

I remember once I was in a nice area of ATL at a closing and the attornies office was hot I asked whats up he said his two condenser got stolen that night LOL.. its a very active sport out East of the rockies we just dont hear of this on the west coast..

Have a nice day.If they get a lawyer, direct the lawyer to your insurance agent.I'd be really surprised if you got a summons or heard from your insurance company.ALSO, i would non-renew at the end of their lease term.

What nice though with that is you build equity quicker.So just adding my experiences with the commercial side, from an owners point of view.Good luck!

For example, an ADU is nice for a rental, but not every home buyer wants to pay a premium for an ADU on their property.This would be case by case and property dependent.

It looks like a nice house but its next to a gas station & now it won't rent or the tenant is not a quality tenant since they are willing to live next door to a gas station.4 - If its sounds too good to be true or it seems too easy, run away very fast.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

As you've mentioned, great schools, area in general is nice and it's centrally located.

And personally I put way more weight on buying the right location as a buy and hold investor than saving some dollars on the front end. 

For the value add we're going to fix up the roads, add a nice sign and fence, replace mailboxes, add lights and fix some plumbing leaks.
