With that said, I know returns are different deal to deal, but I'm trying to get a feel for what investors typically expect to get when pulling the trigger. 

We are not ready to pull the trigger yet so it is mainly just to get to know the market, but I would be more than happy to show you some of my findings. 

Once you pass the 2-unit threshold in R-4 it gets much more complicated as you trigger various requirements (i.e. need to provide 1 parking space, 2700 sf lot, etc), all of which you will need to go through the BZA process to get an exemption from having if you don't have it already.

I guess my questions would be to all of you are:What other due diligence should I preform on this property before pulling the trigger?

Have a set of balls to pull the trigger when you do have that first deal on your lap. 3.  

Curious about how long it takes a first timer to pull the trigger on a first property.

Posting about that problem on here was probably the easiest way to get it sorted out since now you'll trigger the keyword alerts for every active investor-friendly agent within 100 miles of St.

I definitely don't want to run like a chicken with its head cut off when I am about to pull the trigger on an actual property. 

I'll post here, but I think it does push a to a higher bracket and triggers another special clause as well.

Gotta pull the trigger eventually.
