If the design involves the BZA (board of zoning appeal) or historic the process just takes that much longer.

I understand the market is red hot right now, so I'm trying to keep my expectations in line. 

Especially with new local zoning laws, in an attempt to address supply problems, understanding development could equate to greater cash flow for many real estate owners in our area.

Get an inexpensive motion alarm and set it up next to the easy access point (back doors/windows) and hook it up to an external 120+ db siren and external flashing red lights.

The place is zoned for multi-family.

I love working with banks but when it comes to scaling, there is just too much red tape. 

(We will be negotiating this) I checked the zoning on the county GIS site, and it is zoned for MHs, which we plan on adding more in the future.

I am using most of the same numbers for all of this in my initial analysis as I want to be very conservative with my numbers. 10% for property management, a higher amount for insurance (depending if the property is in a flood zone I will add more) and maybe $150 in utilities that I would have to pay month to month.

Not sure if it is a red flag, maybe a pink flag that they potential doesn't know the payout amount or have an idea. 

I"m seeking to rezone the lots as they are pre-existing, prior to the first zoning codes, which later came in and only granted duplex zoning, so these are legal, non-conforming but can't be converted to separate up/down "condo" sales as lenders won't loan if a structure can't be rebuilt after a catastrophic loss unless its zoned correctly as their collateral is compromised and that is the case in the county where these are located.
