Sounds like code word for increasing their billables in 2024 Q4. 

HiI can't find anything in Ohio code either way about the topic in the title.

Would have to check your jurisdictions specific zoning code for the wording and calculation basis.

If you can or would like to share knowledge of Counties, neighborhood, or zip codes where fix and flips would be recommended it would be great.

Investing in Florida I look for 2003 or newer because of the build code changes the year before greatly reducing insurance costs.

We did get negotiate money from them to help with roof repair, but now know they were not honest on their disclosure.Our inspector missed  code violations, HVAC issues, pipes that had been worked on and issues hidden that had occurred while sellers lived in the house, signs of drainage and water damage inside the house that had been painted over, completely blocked dryer vent...and we are finding more daily.We have had the house looked at by a structural engineer and HVAC techs  that has told us we need thousands (likely tens of thousands) of dollars worth of repairs to make this property able to rent and come up to code for rental.

Medina for example is one of the highest priced zip codes in the country!

They include: zoning requirements, building codes, impact fees, permitting requirements, design standards, public land requirements, and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and other labor requirements.

What zip code?

I haven't decided on the city/zip code/neighborhood in which I will be investing.
