Quote from @Nicholas Goodwin: I’m evaluating a mixed-use property in LoHi (Denver) with C-MX-3 zoning, residential + commercial potential, and a detached garage space that can support a small retail/vending operation.

I’m working with a property in Brown County, Indiana that is fully approved for STR use under current regulations and has a documented operating history ($70k–$110k gross; ~$450 ADR).Zoning restrictions prevent adding additional rental units on the parcel, so this is a single-asset STR where value is driven by privacy, acreage, and guest experience rather than scale.Curious how other STR owners think about long-term value and defensibility in markets where zoning has tightened significantly.Appreciate any operator insight.

In most jurisdictions "C"/Commercial zoning is for commercial only, but in some parts of LA, dense multifamily is allowed in some C-zoned areas. 

@Greg Saia Zoning and entitlement risk are always municipality specific and sometimes even neighborhood specific.

Any duplex underwriting tips you wish you knew early (rent comp, expenses, red flags, etc.)Appreciate any guidance and contacts you all may have. 

Has anyone here explored power-intensive industrial uses on zoned land in Central or North Florida?

You still need to do your homework to properly evaluate.3) Red states only: Michigan is a swing state4) Mandatory lead paint inspections: City of Detroit suspended this requirement in APril, 2025.5) Local agent: City of Detroit doesn't require, but suburban cities of Eastpointe, Hazel Park and Warren due.

There is a zoning pathway to restrict, but must be entire zones and limited to jurisdictions with zoning authority (not HOAs).

Red States only that are pro-landlordLooking for places where I can guy houses for less than 200kA city that has a good section 8 department easy to work with.Looking to do Section 8 or cash paying tenants and C Class neighborhood No war zones.

I've received confirmation from the city zoning department that my property is zoning M-1 (light industrial) however the duplex is in legal standing per the City and recognized "as-is".
