SFH to duplex in Red Bank (Chattanooga, TN)
Hello everyone,
I am looking to buy a SFH with a full in-law suite in Red Bank and trying to rent it out as a duplex after I house hack it for 1 year to satisfy primary residency status for a FHA loan. The house is currently zoned as a R1A, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with rezoning in this area to make it a legit duplex to rent out later and have a management company take it over. Is rezoning even necessary to pull this off? Thanks everyone!

It's my understanding Chattanooga is no longer allowing duplexes in fact they're trying to downgrade many of them to SFH. Red Bank could be different. @Brian Levredge will have the answer
