Seems like that would be a good way to add more supply and more value, provided the units are up to code of course.

But there are lots of nuances in the zoning code you need to look into.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Account Closed yes this is the newest code in my area.

The subject has to meet or exceed health and safety code violations when completed. 

I will be scoping out zip codes to invest in, for later this year.

Hi Alan, I've answered this Q at length in other threads, but suffice it to say, unless you find a STEAL on a move-in ready home, or a reallllly good deal on a flip AND can bring it to code, what you call student rentals are not likely to cashflow in city limits.

@Allan SmithHave you had issues or concerns with giving out the lockbox code for renters to see the unit?

.- Code becomes a bigger and costlier deal -- all of your properties will be squarely considered commercial and NOT residential, so when you pull permits to do substantial improvements you'll *get* to install a sprinkler system, etc- (speculation here) More susceptible to property tax hikes As for me and my house, we have chosen to buck the conventional wisdom and stick to SFR and small multi's (doubling down on what we know and are skilled at) until we can jump to more sizeable mutlifamily properties.

I got the lead from mailing postcards to homeowners who had code violations.
