If it is a permitted use but you need to build it, you likely need to get a site plan approval to show that you meet the other regulations (ex. height and bulk requirements).

Some of the building is shop space that runs the full height of the building.

Key items to analyze are utility sizes, parking, door height/width and ceiling heights.  

They turned off the water and called me; I got in my car and drove 8 hours back to the house, to find a glacier a foot thick and 5 feet wide, and the height of my house (two story on that side) attached to the brick.

I was thinking Huber heights, but troy has some cheap properties that look like they have potential. 

When I bought in Chicago heights at the end of 2017, the lender didn't provide the taxes without the homestead credit (I'm OOS) and that hurt cashflow but then the taxes went up the next year and I'm paying almost 8k on a house I bought for 93k.If the loophole you suggest exists, just for the homestead credit, that's amazing.

That height is a bit odd for the entire house.

A few thoughts on the expense side (usually where the problems lie):I do not have firsthand knowledge of the Tampa Heights neighborhood but the reported taxes seem to be below what I would expect to see in Hillsborough County Florida (about $400/month). 

They are both duplex's in Indianapolis.Now, another deal just emerged on the horizon, and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it since I am not familiar with the Cleveland / Garfield Heights area.

I'm looking in NYC which includes the Bronx, I'm not looking in Manhattan (although I've found a few solid ones in Washington Heights that will approach 10% before even removing rent-regulated tenants through turnover.)
