Self Storage on site

[Katherine Young]

Hi there BP family, My husband and I are under contract with our first duplex. We will house hack for at least one year as we used an FHA loan for financing. One thing that really drew us to this property is the fact that it has two detached, brick garages. One is 10x10 (rough estimate) and the other (a two car garage) is 575sq ft. We were hoping to turn the larger garage into a one br/b rental but we found out today that zoning will not allow it. Our next move is renting the space out for storage purposes. Does anyone have any information on zoning restrictions, "lease agreements," advertising, property taxes, etc? Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Katie
