Property Beside a Funeral Home

[Timothy Doenges]

Hello! I’ve found a home in a relatively good neighborhood, near the local college. The lot is zoned B-1, which in the area means it supports multi-family, but has a single family house on it currently. I’m looking into the viability of a building a second structure on the back of the lot that would face a back street. Only potential problem is this: the lot borders a funeral home. Has anyone here managed multi units beside funeral homes? Does it attract any different quality of tenants than, say, a multi family a few blocks away? Have there been any unique challenges related to owning a property in this type of location?
