I've done other campaigns where I was "less-careful", and the results were far less favorable.

The name is actually fairly new, as a part of a recent grab for free federal historic preservation dollars, after which the city immediately started demolishing historic buildings in favor of new development, which continues today.

Also, to follow the advice of John Herrick, I would ABSOLUTELY get my hands on some unsecured lines of credit working in my favor.

There is a possibility that this legislation will change in the near or medium term future.As a potential condo buyer in a market where Condos are part of the urban landscape, there are concerns.Will the law change in favor of condo development?

But in retail or industrial property where the tenant has invested major amounts into their business, it makes it difficult to move and the leverage in the negotiations between landlord and tenant changes to favor the landlord.

Also, in many cases retail buyers set the appraisal pricing so that also matters.In more flip areas, end buyers are retail so there it matters even more and there could be opportunities in areas that have favorable tax in comparison. 

I've always been a capital gains investor, so I tend to favor the markets like SF and LA.

If you're going to use the VA loan, utilizing small multi, you're going to want to segregate those knowledge fields(VA Loan and MF properties) and know enough on your own to make the entire outcome favorable to your situation. 

Also, I read somewhere that it is also favorable when selling because it is taken as capital gains tax instead of ordinary income tax. 

That means you don't have a very favorable debt-to-income ratio.
