So I'm thinking about buying a church. It's about 5,000ft² of living space. About 2.5x more space than my current house. Has a brand new metal roof, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths. Even has a urinal in one of the bathrooms. New kitchen remodel with appliances. Plenty of room to build/add more bedrooms. Not to mention it's about $80,000 less than anything on the market that's even close in size, rooms, etc. The listing just popped up yesterday. After weeks of looking at overpriced homes with nothing really standing out. I won't lie, it kind of feels like a sign. Just curious as to how you guys would feel about living in a church.

Not a lawyer, but I would imagine there are zoning laws/requirements for land use and what not that might impede it becoming residential over what may be classified differently being a place of worship. Now, if you go get ordained - even that one online that takes like 10 minutes - and then held the baseline required "religious study/group sessions" to be placed in the hose of worship category, who's to argue?

My only thing would be if it were used commonly as a mortuary or funeral house - but only because dead things are creepy.
