I have a unique opportunity to buy an investment  property in Starkville from a family member.

Pretty rare from what I see that cities allow or want this....turns single family neighborhood into multi family and most of the zoning people don't like this.Plenty of issues from their point of few of why they don't like it.....parking is one...now no one parking in garage, and potential for more cars...so now 3-4-5 cars in the street.More taxing on the water/sewer/trash/police/fire/city services.I wish you the best of luck with this.

Hi,I know what I'm asking is not legal, but it also doesn't stop the 30,000+ not legal apartments that currently provide a home for families in Queens, NYC that would otherwise not be able to afford to live there.I'm just trying to see, as a landlord, are there certain steps I can take to reduce any potential risks I could face for renting out the apartment?

And then you lose all your bene's and raising a family and paying for health insurance is a big deal.
