Next, we hear from Heidi De La Torre, who’s looking at a multi-unit beachside property with impressive price comps nearby. But, with** zoning issues** and a** seller that can’t make up their mind**, Heidi is struggling with which move to make as she debates taking on a project with this many pitfalls.
