I'm a consultant for nonprofit organizations in international development, looking to diversify my income and eventually transition to the business full time.

It's best to do as much research as you can on this topic and consult a professional when it doubt!

This is why I always tell people they need either consultants like us with long practical experience or a "real" regulatory attorney.

As mentioned, the court wasn't helpful, but we're in the process of consulting an attorney to confirm the Limited Power of Attorney form will do the trick.

Find a real estate professional who is familiar with the areas and will be able to guide and consult you.

We have learned that many investors want to manage their own properties so even though we do manage, we offer free management consultation to our investors that self manage.

Always consult your CPA and attorney.

Background: I am a self employed healthcare pharmacy IT consultant working 80 hours a week by day and a real estate agent and investor on the side.

The inspector went down the street, knew it was zoned for two families, and voila, someone has 3 mailboxes out front.There are consultants handling these issues, around here, they're called expediters. 

I once had a 40 gallon fish tank - I was gone for a week on a consulting project.
