You can also check quick zoning guide here: https://www.phila.gov/documents/zoning-code-information-manual-quick-guide/However, zoning doesn’t always = current use.

Ordinances are constantly change, every area/zone can be different and the legal speak can be tough to crack.I have started calling and talking to them before I proceed with a STR purchase.

Still red tape but a definitive end game Pavlov law approach:Food, shelter, water, safety, comfort and I will throw in livelihood.Get your contract out and read it thoroughly.  

  $125,000 - $40,000 = $85,000 less realtor fees to sell it, and will a lender finance it in it's present condition.Also, those pier and beams go out of wack all the time and maybe just adjusting them will fix it.Some of the older homes are jacked up with all kinds of automobile junk yard scissor jacks and Auto Zone bottle jacks, piles of rocks, stacks of 2 x 4's on grade, wooden shingles, tar shingles, etc... vs proper peirs.So maybe one of the renters (or one of their friends) crawled under there and removed the jacks to use on their car repair or sell at the pawn shop for beer money and now the floor bounces.Meaning get a 2nd opinion from a pier company (that's legit, has an office and a website, etc...) and have them confirm the ROT--if any.Because the floors do rot (sometimes) and also the piers go out of wack and sometimes also sometimes disappear into thin air--and no one knows what happened to them.Getting a 2nd opinion on if there is rot--with cell phone pics of it--would be smart--if none then adjust/replace the jacks.Good Luck!

If you know if any remote USA jobs, please let me know and I will work during any time zone.

zoning did NOT ALLOW for any off road parking..

Call you local zoning or code enforcement office to find out for sure.

Any red flags looking at the financials? 

I'd start by finding out what the zoning is. 

Its zoned R2 and I’m an architect so building a seperate unit (2br/1ba) on the property could be done.
