Hello All,

I'm a new STR investor and I would like to replace my porch with a studio like apartment to start my journey in House Hacking, just wondering if anybody knows a homebuilder that specializes in home additions in Central Florida that can help me with this project. will appreciate any feedback or help. Thanks .

You might consider speaking to to the City's zoning and building departments where you are located first and confirm whether zoning, setbacks, density, and other requirements will permit you to do this. It's often referred to as accessory living space (without cooking facilities) or an accessory dwelling unit (if it has a full kitchen).

Unfortunately, there are a lot of contractors that will just take your money and build it without permits, leaving you with an unpermitted and illegal addition that you might have to remove later on.
