House Hack Zoning

Hello all! I'm finally closed on the financing for my home renovations and I'm glancing at houses for my future househack. There are few small multifamily properties in Atlanta and surrounding areas so I will be lucky if I find one that fits my parameters and is available once I get my MTR (current home) up and running. I'm also considering homes with in-law suites or split-level homes that can be converted. So, my question is, what should I be considering from a zoning perspective when converting space in a SFR?

Look up the zoning designation of the SFH, that zoning designation will have uses allowed "by right"; if Multifamily is listed as an allowed use, you can convert the SFH. Just note that conversions are almost never straight forward and it's best to consult and A&E professional regarding the feasibility of the conversion.
