It's gotten even more difficult in this environment, but mid-construction completion loans will always be difficult to do, even if everything is in line. 

I am in the process of selling a small parcel of land with owner financing and have been reading up about the Dodd-Frank regulations that were put into place a few years back.

Toilets and Tenants is a great facebook group that will help answer local regulations and the person who runs has recurring monthly meetings with guest speakers on local regulatory changes.  

What questions should I be asking and how do I understand zoning regulations?  

@Jason CoryI tried to look but didn’t find any regulations around revenue tax to city.

Account Closed I am well aware of the typical structure of loans with regard to regulations and the criteria on why a bank would and wouldn't finance the deal.

So I would need to heavily regulate the rules and stay vigilant meaning more legwork and headache.

@Susie Wendel From what I have found so far, it seems that the city of Jackson itself, though priced attractively for investment, is not really investor friendly due to city regulations and such.

I know I personally had no desire to escape to another urban environment (other than a moment of wishing I could experience Venice when there were no other tourists <grin>).If we are able to bring the pandemic under control by summer 2021, I suspect there will be a lot of pent up energy to visit all the vibrant destination cities around the world that were closed down and not at all vibrant in 2020.And, yes, we were able to purchase the 200 Airbnb IPO Directed Shares.

Fortunately, this is less of a problem today with so many people working from home.A second issue which always plagued Yonkers is that the rent regulations are (almost) identical to NYC.
