Insight in converting SFM (R-4) to MF

Hello everyone, 

Would love some insight to converting SFM to MF, especially in Texas.

Been eyeing some SFM properties that would be better as a knockdown and rebuilt.  Since we are rebuilding, then perhaps it makes more sense to do a small MF (duplex) on the property.

Would love to learn more about the zoning, getting permits and etc.

Have you done this before?  Would you recommend it?  Any insights would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best,

Alice
