Good evening, I have a SFR in Miami dade county and this is the zoning info from the county website:Land UseMuni ZonePA ZoneGENERALRU-2 5700 - DUPLEXES - GENERALFrom the county website I was redirected to:  https://library.municode.com/fl/miami_-_dade_county/codes/co...and I think the construction of a new unit in the back (There should be enough space)  can potentially be approved based on the exception (3)ARTICLE XV. - RU-2, TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT[19]SHARE LINK TO SECTIONPRINT SECTIONDOWNLOAD (DOCX) OF SECTIONSEMAIL SECTIONCOMPARE VERSIONSFootnotes: --- (19) ---Cross reference— Height of fences, walls and hedges in RU Districts, § 33-11; location of swimming pools in RU-2 Districts, § 33-20(c); maximum setback for principal residential buildings in RU-2 Districts, § 33-45.Sec. 33-201. - Uses permitted.SHARE LINK TO SECTIONPRINT SECTIONDOWNLOAD (DOCX) OF SECTIONSEMAIL SECTIONCOMPARE VERSIONSNo land, body of water and/or structure shall be used or permitted to be used and no structure shall be hereafter erected, constructed, moved, reconstructed or structurally altered for any purpose in an RU-2 District which is designed, arranged, or intended to be used or occupied for any purpose, unless otherwise provided for, excepting for one or more of the following uses:(1)Every use permitted in RU-1, RU-1M(a) and RU-1M(b) Districts.(1.1)Workforce housing units in compliance with the provisions of Article XIIA of this Code.(2)On lots meeting the requirements for two-family use, every use as a duplex or two-family residence, including two private garages.

I'm what people might describe as a "jack of all trades, master of none" (although at this point, due to my current career, I have a fairly deep understanding of interest theory, loan amortization, assessing risk, and certain other financial topics).

This is a whole other world, so if this concept is new to you I recommend reading up on the topic before you invest a single dollar. 

By the way, I posted my first potential MF deal here, if you want to take a look: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/432/topics/1188181-12-u...Thanks again for the contributions.
