I REEEAAALLY need help with a property I purchased back in February of this year (2021).

I purchased a house in Tampa that has a main house in the front with a "mother in law" in the back. The house was advertised as a potential "income producing" unit if I wanted to rent out the back.

I am now finding out that the property LOST it's non-conforming status while the prior owner (who flipped the house) had it. They neglected to tell me that the house lost it's non-conforming.

Now... In order to rent out the back unit, I need to try and get the non-conforming status back.

This is a HUGE pain and super disappointing because I would not of purchased the home if I knew I could not legally rent out the back unit.

Has anyone seen a home lose it's non-conforming status before?

Can you legally rent out a mother in law if it is zoned as a single family?

Hey! My name is Christina and I recently purchased a two family in Tampa that I currently have on Airbnb (website linked here).

My plan in the next year is to acquire 2-3 more properties to either Airbnb/Rent/Flip. Staying in the St. Pete and Tampa area.

Questions for the group:

--Does anyone have a great CPA local to St.Pete or Tampa? (REALLY need one ASAP 😎)
--Any advice on how to build and structure a LEGIT real estate plan? (ie. using excel to plan out my next year of things I need in order to reach my goals?)
--Any advice on how to decide what is/is not a great property to buy?
--A legit contractor local to St. Pete/Tampa that wont rip me off 🤣

I am a Boston native and I cannot believe the prices for some of the real estate (in St. Pete near central ave specifically) down here recently.. I have seen 3/3 condos going for $900,000... Those are Boston/New York prices.

SO excited to meet people in the community. Cheers!
