@Kaley Roberts I notice you are based out of Colorado Springs. Us too! We are new to this but prepared to dive all in. Holding to have 4 doors under our belt by end of 2019.

@Kaley Roberts thanks so much! Checking out that link now and we will look deeper with our contractor on separating those out or just upping the rent. I’m sure grateful for your feedback.

@Matt Walker thanks so much. It is R2 and my husband and I are now looking at the numbers. We’d LOVE to have a pro look at them once we have it sorted to make sure we didn’t miss anything. We are new to this game, and will take any guidance we can get!

@Gretchen Place thanks so much. We will definitely check with regional before breaking group. It is R2 but that’s helpful to know of variances!

@Wayne Brooks thanks so much. It is zoned R2 so that’s good for us. We were certain to be sure we can legally do multi family. Appreciate your response!

Hey all. We just closed on our first investment property. My husband and I plan to live there as we rehab the place. The single family home naturally lends itself to creating it into a duplex. Finished product being two/ two bedroom one bath units in downtown Colorado Springs growing market.

Any thoughts on rehabbing to create duplex vs keeping it a 5 bedroom SFH. Any advice on this journey as we go forward?!
