1st Property Planning

[Robert Capozzoli]

Hello everyone, I haven't been on the forum much, but I have been busy taking my first steps into investment real estate. I do not currently own investment properties, however I have been, educating myself and planning for the next step. My wife and I are looking to move into a single family home from our two bedroom condo, and "house hack". I live in Basking Ridge New Jersey and i'm trying to find out what my options are as the majority of the homes in this area are single family and not zoned for multi-family. Since options are slim i'm wondering if its possible/worth looking for a single family and having its converted into multi-family. Tho I can imagen the township being very picky over these requests. Lastly, is it necessary to zone a home multi family if your renting it out ?

Thank you!
