SFH zoning but set up as Triplex?

[Wz Michael]

I have a deal 400k, previously was approved for 3 family but city converted the zoning to SFH on whole block.

I'm thinking to submit an offer this weekend. I'm so nervous

The number is very lucrative. 3300sq ft+ in a B+ neighborhood

1 3bd & 2 2bd estimate 3700+ rent

monthly mortgage $2814, owner occupied, minus 10% (repair & maintenance & vacancy) I would still cash flow over $500 & 1k+ when I move out

My main concern is the legality of renting out... renting by room? will the home insurance cover if something goes wrong since this is not a legal multifamily?

there seems to be many advertised as multifamily but do not have the zoning & permit in Philly.

From your description, the property may be legal non-conforming.  Make sure you check with city planning to determine whether you can legally rent out the units and/or what restrictions a later change in zoning might impose on your use of the property.
