Zoning - Single Family to Duplex (Wisconsin)

[John Ludwig]

I just toured a single family home in Wisconsin.  It had side by side entry doors in a split level.  When you walk in, there's a door inside separating the two levels.  There's separate kitchens on each floor.

Called the city and they said it could take up to 3 months to get rezoned to multi-family which is fine because it will take that long to rehab.

Does anyone have any experience getting single family rezoned to multi?  What are the chances I'm denied?

Thank you in advance!

All investors need to learn the GIS and other mapping applications intimately, the overlays show things like Zoning, Flood maps, Soil types, Topo, and much much more, all at your finger tips 24/7 I never take anyone's word for anything, especially from a government office, even before the GIS  was wide spread I would go to the county offices and read the maps myself,  Do your own homework and dont rely on others,  same reason I learned abstracting, understanding more than most will get you farther than most, best of luck.
