HOA boards love to spend lots of time picking paint colors and reviewing plans for adherence to design pallets, and they tend to be slow, which is always the enemy of builders/developers.Also:1. check city/municipality zoning for your parcels and the surrounding parcels, make sure triplex (attached residential) is allowed. 2. research should include investigation of front, rear, and side setback, units per area of land (i.e. one unit for every xxxx s.f. of land), and how many units per parcel (sometimes zones only allow x units per legal parcel), and parking requirements (with multiple units you may need to provide guest spaces). 3. keep in mind when you go to sell how attractive the units are to potential buyers.

I called the local cops and they said that the ATF is doing an investigation into the company.

They are currently with a PM, but I am investigating alternatives. 

The city went to investigate my property, and found there were no issues with the bird feeder or the claim it was increasing roof rat activity in the neighborhood. 

.), I would certainly investigate buying subject to any existing mortgage or get the seller to carry a note on any property owned free and clear.

No it's simply a highly obervant person who has minimum competency in the building type you are investigating and can communicate with you in an effective manner what they have found and what it means for you.I know blah blah blah.  

@Dante Nava your working as a private investigator is how I look at the overage lost money type of work... and your right its time consuming and you will need lexus nexus to chase down people and next of kin..

I came across this site while investigating a R.E. guru that has many products, promises, and guarantees for sale.

Since then, they've steadily increased to a high in January 2018 of 3,866.The city has 25 open STR investigations.

But I'd encourage you to keep looking because there are still the rare treasures out there and you learn from each one you investigate even if it doesn't work out.
