Los Angeles - Convert SFH to Duplex

Who's had experience converting a SFH to duplex in LA? I'm looking at a 1000sf single family (two-story 2 bed/1.5 bath). What makes it challenge as SFH is that there is no parking. However, it's a block away from the metro and in a very walkable area.

There's an identical layout a few doors down, which was converted to a duplex years ago. It sold last year and would be a great exit comp. (There are 5 identical houses next to each other, none of which have parking.) The idea would be to copy that layout and create two 1/1 units - one upstairs, one downstairs. I've worked on flips, but never done a conversion like this.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
