@Rose Han in my area duplexes are permitted in single family zoned, rural areas. I had a real estate attorney confirm that in my situation.

I would recommend asking that question to your local RE attorney.

This is something I think a lot of new investors miss starting out- having a legal member on your team.

You don’t need a lawyer-until you do….and by then, it’s too late. You get to wait for the new client appointments on random 3rd Tuesday of the month (or some asinine timeline). I would recommend to build that relationship before you need it.

A duplex in an SFR zone isn't necessarily a problem. The bigger issue is that the tax rolls don't reflect two units.

You need to get permit records to know what you are dealing with.

If you are asking this question here I don't think I would advise you to dive into the deep end and legalize the unit as an ADU.

Where?

we have riverside and san bernadino counties doing very well rental yield wise .. they are a one hour away from metropolitan los angeles.. You can get in 2-4 multifamily units at a decent price and be at market rent within a year or two...
