What zoning code could I request a zoning variance or rezoning that would allow us to have the 2 livable units on parcel, one primary residence and one additional living unit (known currently as ADU)?

Quote from @Allison Cutlip: My boyfriend and I are closing on our first property soon which is a duplex where we will be living in one side and renting out the other. 

I've been in Austin since 1992 and it's an awesome city to live and work.

I live in the Bronx, NY but my goal is to own an investment property in Philadelphia by the end of this year.

You should have, or you should create an amortization table that shows the actual interest paid on the $650k mortgage for the first 6 months while you lived there.

We have a house in an opportunity zone in Texas that we bought in 2015, lived in for 3 years, and then made a rental in 2018.   

I also live in Tomball and have a similar need for a CPA with heavy RE / investment income experience.Matthew

@Aloysius Martis I just sent you a private message but I live in Wake Forest and work with Apple Realty where we manage around 600 properties. 

Currently all I own is a 70-year old house that I live in--it is in good shape but needs updates.

I want to start investing in real estate in America in the near future, since I am not in America, I live in Europe, more precisely in Serbia, any advice and contact will mean a lot to me.
