What strategies can I implement to maximize rental income from my first property, which I intended to convert into two units ( Unit 1:Main house, Unit 2: Basement sun room) but cannot due to zoning restrictions? 

Been around a lot of that mainly on smaller SFR deals. 

However, Mario dropped us of at main checkin which was not correct for BPCon.  

The 34746 area code has seen a lot of new construction, mainly SFH and apartments.

The ILA is North America’s largest longshoremen’s union, with roughly 50,000 of its 85,000 members making good on the threat to strike at 14 major ports subject to a just-expired master contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, or USMX, and picketing workers beginning to appear at ports.I have been reading that if the strike drags on, we can expect some shortages on perishable items that the US imports.One of those is bananas; the US imports 100% of its supply.

(My assumption is it may be tough to prove enough material participation if using someone local to manage.)Two things worth noting:1- I'll be discussing with my CPA in-depth soon, but would like to hear other's experiences on this.2 - The main reasons I'm looking to STR's is the tax benefits (Cost-Seg) & appreciation that comes with buying in these areas opposed to the mid-west where I look for long-term rentals..

To the best of my knowledge, and I am not an appraiser so I would recommend you verify this, but I have been of the understanding that there are 3 main requirements that classify a bedroom, a bedroom.

Depending on the size of the ADU vs the main property, you would probably be looking at either a "heavy rehab" loan - or a "ground up construction" loan.

There was a brief period a couple of years ago where demand was out-pacing supply by a large margin, but that has calmed down.

It just seemed limited supply and expensive for whats left over.
