Anyone with experience with converting a two story motel to an apartment? Any tips would be helpful especially with fire code.

@Antonio Davis

Check with local zoning departments as they don't always allow a conversion in certain areas or on certain properties (depending how zoned). I lightly tried once and zoning refused, so ran the property as is and then sold it shortly after. City said they would "allow" me to tear down and build NEW apartments.....I laughed.
