Yes, we are a local company based out of Greenville.

I've got team members in Tampa if you need local support. 

Looking to connect with local realtor in this area and learn about the market.

I am sure this will ultimately be "ask your local appraiser" but I wanted to get thoughts here if you think this would count as a 1 bedroom.

Local amenities abound and the property is serviced by a newly refurbished power cord connecting it to the ceiling.

Your best bet is to find your local REIA chapter and join. 

Some mortgage lenders and local regulations may require you to have landlord insurance once you convert your property into a full rental.

Anyone local want to confirm if work is slowing down at the plant site?

Reviewing data from different sources (check around BP to find those resources) is a good step in the process but I believe that speaking to other investors, realtors, rental managers and other local people is the best way to find out where to invest and where not to invest.  

NYC flat roofs, the locale, and the lack of trees(sadly) make NYC a great option for solar.
