@Jered Sturm - I looked into this several years ago and the cost of solar panels (not including installation costs) was prohibitive.  

If it meets that criteria, it would imply that there is a draw there and that the legal environment is conducive or at least non-prohibitive to that kind of business. 

I'm quite sure that planning does not require a 3.11/neighborhood notification (which is the main clusterf*ck you want to avoid in SF :)  Otherwise it's lots of little nudnicks from DBI, but bottom line, as long as you have decent ingress/egress, ceiling heights, etc I don't think the requirements are prohibitive.

Also many states prohibit marketing properties you do not own unless you are licensed.

They glanced at the CO and survey, but didn't even look at the address.Renting rooms in prohibited unless the homeowner lives there.Can't do a two family as the town doesn't permit any two family homes, except those that are grandfathered in.It's not the end of the world if the kitchen is removed, but it's a nice selling point that I figured would increase the rent a little.

While we prohibit agents from selling their own personal residence, we do permit agents to represent themselves in the purchase and sale of investment property.

That's when I found out about the space heater (prohibited in our leases).  

And while it is sometimes possible to partner with a disqualified person, in other circumstances if that is the only way your IRA can invest by partnering with yourself (in other words IRA is unable to make this investment on it's own), this is known as "enabling" and is a prohibited transaction.

As regards the house, the Court of Appeals ruled that there is nothing in the Constitution which prohibits respondent from acquiring the same.
