Thanks for your help. 

I help other veterans/investors purchase here.

When additional risk is priced into the cost of doing business, it increases the cost of rents for the marginal tenants these rules are attempting to help.

In general, when I've called Cobb County, I've found it really depends on who you talk to, some of the people there are knowledgeable and helpful and some really don't have a clue and are not very customer-service-oriented. 

Furthermore, a big driver for me is to be able to care for both of my parents in their retirement, my auntie who recently lost her husband and help friends or strangers in need.Now I am looking to network and get more intimate with the market I am eyeing - and of course, continue to learn.- Oh, and I am a total nomad.

The reasons you listed above are the reasons I did not pull the trigger on starting an assisted living facility.

I appreciate the help

Does anyone have any experience or advice they are willing to share to help me work through this issue?

I appreciate your help!
