It's a seriously crazy week but I'm always up for meeting co conspirators! 

I’m located about 2 hrs from there.Looks like you are in CO - what is drawing you to that location?

Ford Motor Co. has just announced they will be building a new manufacturing plant approximately 12 miles from this property which is scheduled to come on line in 2025.

You can also use a transaction coordinator and for ~$400 just have them take care of all of this (this is what I'd recommend).3) When you list using the flat fee MLS provider, you will get the option to state the amount of commission you are offering to buyer agents.

Granted, they helped coordinating with the guests that were staying there who ended up having to move out halfway through their stay.

Once the family members with disabilities or who are sixty-two (62) years of age or older, or any other family member, no longer reside(s) in the premises on a permanent basis, or the title is transferred, the property owner shall notify the zoning official in writing, and the accessory family dwelling unit shall no longer be permitted, unless there is a subsequent, valid application.As you can see, it's really all up to the zoning department of that city or town, and my guess is that if your proposed use doesn't meet the above, they will not approve it.It doesn't really sound like they're talking about an entirely separate structure, so if that's true then the question about getting bank financing for such construction would be moot, but it's possible I'm reading the above wrong.As far as whether you can build on the empty small lot in general, you'd want to look up the zone of the lot on the assessor page and then look up the Permitted Uses section of the Cranston zoning ordinance to see what can be built there and Zoning Districts Designated to see if your lot meets the minimum lot size to build something.

Yes, there are local ordinances you need to be aware of, most importantly the owner occupied requirement. 

A Co-star report that can help.

I am on a co-op where I am not in classes but instead working for a company in my field.
