Do Durham developments allow add-on units or conversions?

Hi,

I’m likely moving to the Durham area and see from the boards here that it’s a competitive market for investors. Some of the new developments have home designs that look easy to convert to duplexes. Do any of the HOAs allow this? How about Durham zoning?

I’m a newbie at investment, so I’m thinking of living in a smaller unit and renting out the rest.
