Buying SFH With Potential Double Garage Conversion?

Tim Kaminski
  • St. Petersburg, FL
Posted

Hello!

Looking for my second deal but the times they are a tough! Found a SFH with a very large double garage that I would like to owner occupy, and plan to value add by finishing the garage and turning it into Airbnb/Separate rental.

This is in Pinellas County of St. Pete. Questions are:

How easy/hard is it to rezone a property to allow this? Currently it is just Single Family use.

Anyone have any idea on what the current Pinellas county laws are on Airbnb? I live in Tampa and I thought it was illegal but a simple search shows plenty of properties offering that service.

Just wondering if it is a good idea to look into a property like this if cash flow positive all depends on getting property rezone. Obviously I would like property to cash flow without the garage conversion but this is 2019 in St Pete and that isn’t the easiest thing to find.
