Experience converting a single family home to a duplex?

[Kevin Cullen]

Hi y'all! Does anyone out there have experience converting a single family home into a duplex in Columbus? I'm a bit clueless on how that process works as it pertains to permitting/zoning/etc., but I'm intrigued by a few possibilities. I would love to connect and chat with anyone who has gone through a similar rehab/conversion!

Quote from @Remington Lyman:

It might not work in Columbus but I did it in New Braunfels Texas in 2018, bought the single family for $105,000, turned it into 1,100 sq ft 2/1 on one side, 1,671 sq ft 3/2 on the other side, all in for $300,000. Started renting in Mar 2019, collected $110,000 in rent so far. Property appraised at $430,000 a few months ago. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? YES

@Kevin CullenYou have to go to the city building department and talk to them about permitting/zoning etc. They are the only ones that can tell you 100% accurately what you need to do.
