How do you know whether its ok to split a home into a duplex or not?

Where do you look for laws and information like this?

Thanks,

Are there any rules/laws to look into in a city/area on taking a single family home and converting it into a multiple student housing rental? Where should I look?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Good advice.

Always good advice from Legendary Luke!

I guess what I was going for was that I know it can be a cash flow killer a lot of times to have a monthly expense for property management. But if you didn’t need around the year management is there another option? What if there was a service for isolated events? Emergency stop ins from someone close and local, end of year remodels involving multiple subcontractors (for bigger projects than what a handyman can handle). 
And maybe that’s the answer - there’s no real need for that. Just fishing for ideas. 

Love the podcast Luke! Keep it up!

You who have properties in the Smoky Mountain area (Gatlinburg, Townsend, Wears Valley, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge) and self manage from afar - what services do you wish were more available to help you manage from out of town? 

Help with emergency situations? 

Help with monitoring / checking in on short notice?

Short Term Project Management / managing subs (pricing, quality management, etc.) for additions, renovations, septic tank work?, - bigger tasks that need a bit more monitoring but you may not be able to handle yourself being out of town?

Looking for an opportunity to start a business that could help you and provide opportunities for me to learn. 

Any ideas? 

I know that the Smokies is one of the best markets for STRs but I am curious about other areas locally. There seems to be a push to develop the Norris Lake area. Has anyone had much success in those areas? How does it compare to the Smokies?
