Connect with local investors and experts for a house-hacking strategy and ensure proper permits for rental properties.Good luck!

It might save you money on labor and give you more control over projects, but it also means taking on more responsibility for permits, inspections, and subcontractors.

Any additional permits?

It sounds like you can not for any purpose since the conversion is not permitted.

I have started soil tests on 12 lots costing me a total of $5340 for the permits.

@Erich HatchFirst, I look at permit history.

I know certain areas where I live are limiting those types of permits, etc.

A key step is also meeting with the City and/or all entities who are involved in permitting. 

Perhaps they would make more money if STR was an option, however if that's not permitted in their location, no STR demand exists, or no STR PM is willing to take on their property, they may not have that option.

That's a spreadsheet that doesn't transfer to a real life leasing scenario because its not permitted within the zoning code.If the property is zoned RM1, then  perhaps you can lease to 8 unrelated individuals by converting the building into multiple units.
