I have been asked to testify about how a change in zoning devalues the property.I am seeking cold, hard facts to back up my testimony.

Considering on taking advantage of the equity in my investment property instead of selling and would like to know what's out there to take into consideration for re-investment opportunities.

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

It usually has to do with how they feel about themselves.

Hey Chris,Welcome to BP!

Would it be helpful to you as a landlord have have not only the day to day automated but also have guidelines and quick access to local regulations (where there is constant change) in your assets markets to help you stay compliant and avoid potential lawsuits/fines?  

Further, it's always a good idea to do due diligence into the association itself to make sure it has adequate reserves in case of any large future expenditures.

Less risk if you use a data-driven approach, and a great way to get a feel for the numbers before you commit to owning.

I also wouldn't be opposed to using a 203k loan to finance and renovate a multifamily to house hack and rent out (I know it's a lot more work and harder to achieve but I think the potential could definitely make it worth while, especially with the up coming changes going into effect soon).
