@Aaron Barrett , as @Craig Curelop said, you are in the same position that @Austin Fruechting seemed to be in; now retired in 7 years.Get inspired by his success in the BRRRR rental method:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/429980-officially-financially-free-at-32----exciting-dayHe was recently featured in a podcast:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/biggerpockets-podcast-239-achieving-financial-freedom-age-32-austin-fruechting/

I spoke with an official from the county office today and after supplying him all necessary information, he says that the subdivision is possible.

Yes, I'm officially on the dark side (real estate only though). 

They normally charge for this nowadays, but since I have a service contract, the oil company when they give me the official reading thank me for the service contract and mention this is one of the wonderful benefits.On move out, a similar reading is taken.In the lease, if the tank reading is over what it is when they move in, they get reimbursed, if it's below they get charged.

Moderator Note: It is fine to discuss potential times for a meetup, but meetup announcements belong in the Events & Happenings Forum .

They followed up with him after their lease officially ended, and were assured that they would get their security deposit back within the correct time period (in Georgia, it must be returned within one month of vacating). 

However Aniges list, who was just bought by Home Advisor, just announced yesterday that they are selling their entire corporate campus/headquarters that is just a few blocks away from your prospect property.

Right now STR is officially illegal but practically tolerated.

I have a few thoughts.1) I'm not an accountant, so this isn't official advice, but for a 1031, you'll need to pay attention to the rules. 

This is officially my first post to Bigger Pockets, but hoping to become a more regular participant.
