You have to read the ordnance, but typically there is a ‘permitted use’ which is the zoning class, then there are ‘prohibited uses,’ and in between there may be some combination of ‘’conditional uses’ or ‘performance standards’ where you can potentially use it for another authorized purpose.

@Reggie ReardenI think what you are asking is outside the scope of standard maintenance for a tenant, unless it was specifically communicated and demonstrated to them before they occupied the home. 

Or are the insurance requirements very standardized so there would be almost no variance from lender to lender?

Details below:April 2018 Purchases:Duplex (vacant) for $40k - needed $13k in siding and about $5k in internal cosmetics. 

@Kevin Hoff garage door openers are standard equipment in any new construction in my area.

But some general rules of thumb I look for: it needs to cash flow when accounting for PITI, repairs, maintenance and vacancy reserves, AND a standard management fee, typically around 8-10% cash on cash not including potential appreciation. 

I am looking at building my first residential subdivision and I am trying to gather some information regarding costs to develop the land to city/county standards.

Can anybody offer advice on how to get the property more exposure to potential buyers or general marketing tips on international property?

Here in California the seller is generally responsible and a standard PSA.

When it flows via a k1 you will get a bump in your debt to income ratio when working with Freddie/Fannie products versus the standard page 1 carry of your rentals.
