I have serious doubts if its been converted into a multifamily...I recently saw 150-yr. old tavern that was attached to the largest grist mill in the country get denied registration...Anyway, location is key...if you are in city limits, or have neighborhood (or deed) restrictions you may be facing a challenge...I know a guy that renovated 20-properties and discovered that the siding had to be replicated to the original...he had to pay a machine shop to create a cutter head so he could mill the siding to the original spec for any repairs.

If it isn't restrictive, then consider changing what you say when you call. 

@Colin Douthit Ideally around the Plaza area down to 63rd, not east of 71, potentially Pendleton Heights, Plaza area all the way up to the MO river, and not west of Metcalf.

(Greater heights, Missouri city, sugarland, spring, etc) I want to know if i want to simply buy the house for myself as a primary residence, which then eventually rent out once i move out in however many years.

There are many other restrictions as well.If you are working with a real estate agent, then s/he should be able to guide you in the right direction at the least.

The hard part is making sure you navigate all of the asset restrictions and compliance rules to certify that your fund actually does qualify.

If so, how was the process (fees, timelines, restrictions, underwriting, communication, etc.)?

I would like any insight on Ruskin Heights area if anyone has any info.

Hello, has anyone ever worked with Detroit Land Bank deed restrictions?

You should have your attorney research the issue, but a 1031 does permit related party exchanges if your transaction qualified as one (some additional disclosure and restrictions might then apply).
