I am looking to buy a home in WA state. It is divided as a tri-plex, but it is currently Single Family Zoning. I don’t think it was ran properly from any angle, however, is there anything I can do to be creative about this and make money?
My idea was to rent room by room, 3 rooms per unit, and hopefully still be okay with the single family zoning.
@Tanner Litchfield City Ordinance, City Code, County Laws, State laws. Google terms and occupancy limit or number of adults allowed per dwelling, etc. Good luck!
@Tanner Litchfield I would suggest researching the respective city or city ordinances, and maybe state specific codes as well. In Texas there are bylaws that do restrict the numbers of unrelated adults that may occupy a single dwelling (6) per City Code as well as no more than 3 times the number of adult tenants per bedroom per Texas Property Code. HUD occupancy 'suggestion' is 2 persons per room. Children are protected from discrimination and generally do not affect those rules.
@Frank Hinck hey Frank! I have listened to that podcast and that helped me throw together the idea. I actually followed Todd on Instagram and have already asked him a few questions! Solid dude.
