@Ruoxi Xie Houses on E5 up to the 500 block are within the zone...600 and East are outside so no new student housing is supposed to be allowed there unless it was already rented as such...the map in the regulation is very low quality so it is hard to tell...the people in the construction department are generally helpful when you have clear specific questions...the best thing is to go there or call them before making an offer...as mentioned before...even inside the zone you'll need to comply with parking requirement so not all houses can be SH.The age of the housing stock there is for sure one of the challenges of that market...all my renovations there went over budget with unforeseen issues...but even then ended up well...as long as you leave enough margin for budget overruns you should be ok...as an engineer you are probably better equipped than most to spot them earlier.

@Yonathan RandolphYou can also send the meters to the county weights and measures department that the meter will be located in.

However, after doing more digging he sent me the following excerpt from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation:"Residential Contractor - means a contractor whose services are limited to construction, remodeling, repair, or improvement of one-family, two-family, or three-family residences not exceeding two habitable stories above no more than one uninhabitable story and accessory use structures in connection therewith."

@Nathan G.The landlord/owner needs to file a theft by embezzlement report with the police department against the property manager.The renter/squatter needs to be removed by eviction due to landlord tenants lawsLandlord is breaking the law in this case. 

I've reached out to the real estate departments for Family Dollar, Goodwill, Chick-Fil-A, etc, to get information on what their requirements/criteria would be to expand into a particular market, as well as consider a ground lease for a particular location.

I spoke to my lawyer and he asked me if would take it a step further to find violations with the buildings department or leans with the title company. 

In your case, I would approach your calls in the following fashion:1) Introduce yourself and let the bank know your are looking to invest in your first property in the near future and would like to speak with someone from their lending/mortgage department. 

Yes, you can sue the town into doing something so long as that something is the city code or ordinance, but if this is a place you plan to do business again, or if like good things and hate bad things, don't sue the city (sue = the process of legally forcing them to do X, not trying to get money from them)You'll have better luck eating crow and having a face-to-face peace-meeting with the highest person you can find in the department.  

People don't go up to the counter at the department store and argue that the $100 pair of designer jeans should only cost $50.
