I talked to waiters and waitresses, store clerks, park rangers, and small business owners. 

She is currently on a housing voucher, and I would like to understand the appropriate procedures in such a situation, including:When does the HAP payment officially end?

Here’s what to know:5,000 new homes, 8M+ sq ft of office, 500k sq ft of retail, and 75 acres of civic/trail space are all in the works.Certified “One Planet Living” community—prioritizing sustainability, equity, and mixed-income housing.Infrastructure (transit + bridges) will connect directly to Belmont and western Gaston County, opening up huge spillover potential.First homes (Westrow & NOVEL apartments) expected to deliver by late 2025.Gastonia’s FUSE District: From Mill Town to Mixed-Use HubGastonia has made major moves with the creation of the FUSE District—a sports, entertainment, and redevelopment zone centered around:CaroMont Health Park, a 5,000-seat stadium hosting the Gastonia Ghost Peppers and concerts, soccer, and more.Franklin Yards, a $50M+ project adding 280+ Class-A apartments and retail to the mix.Historic mill conversions (Loray, Osage, Trenton) transforming into lofts and commercial space, creating an urban, walkable feel.The Social District allows visitors to walk between restaurants, breweries, and bars with drinks in hand—great for tourism and local nightlife.A few FUSE favorites:Durty Bull Brewery, Cavendish Brewing, The Rooster (live music), Double Barrel Saloon, and more.Nearby Towns to WatchMcAdenville – aka “Christmas Town USA” – draws 600K+ visitors each holiday season.

I would look into spot hero and/or other parking apps to gauge what market rates look like for parking in that neighborhood then adjust accordingly for the quality of parking you're able to offer.

The submarkets I'm most familiar with (Winter Park,  Baldwin Park, Downtown) don't seem to have ideal price-to-rent ratios and prices are overall inflated. 

Quote from @Phil Shaffer: Hi everyone,Officially starting with my first post to introduce myself to everyone!

Quote from @Garrett Creswell: Arizona cities like Phoenix, Tempe, and Tucson have loosened zoning restrictions to allow more homeowners to legally build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) or casitas (often used interchangeably).Phoenix passed a policy in early 2024 allowing ADUs on most single-family lots, aiming to boost affordable housing and multigenerational living options.Requirements were simplified: smaller lot size minimums, reduced parking requirements, and less red tape for permits.With the new law passing, builders and developers saw a new market open up:They’re targeting homeowners who want to create rental income (especially with the Phoenix rental market staying strong).

You can find some generalized checklists of things to check from general condition, to how well all the locks work, condition of appliances, CO2 & smoke detectors, they're not smoking inside, nothing is broken, rules not being followed, etc.You can do this quarterly, bi-annual, or annual depending on how much you want to be over & ensure your property is good, as well as them properly taking care of it.You can also have any of your working order professionals take pictures throughout the period if have any Maintenance requests you need fulfilled & get their general thoughts on the condition of the home in its current condition (since it will be not as much of a notice & not cleaned/prepped to an official inspection)

A quote we received was in the ball park of 350K. 

But here’s the catch:In New York, the official process for nonpayment of rent requires a 14-day Rent Demand, not 10.
