I own my home in-town and know a lot about the city, been here over two decades.So excited to meet new people and get started on this real estate thing! 

Where city are you at?

The City presented some challenges during the subdividing.

How's the market in Kansas City compare to Houston?

She said some paperwork had been pushed back (moving from a county to a city housing voucher program) She hasn't paid any Oct rent and the water got shut off.

Talked to the city, etc before hand as it had 3 units, separate storage, and storefront and the city said to ignore that. 

I personally think it won't make a spit of difference in larger cities but may help for other areas

Where exactly I should be looking to flip I mean like which cities.

I didn't even know Waitsburg was a city in WA until I came across your post. 

Yup, typically if its highest and best use is residential then residential financing isn't hard to obtain for a commercially zoned property.To the question of developing on the land, which sounds like it's on the same parcel as your building, that would depend on your cities planning and codes.
