Converting single families to multi in R2 and R3

[Wagner Alcivar]

Hi BP members. My name is Wagner and I am looking to by my first investment property in Northern New Jersey in Hudson county. I am looking at 2 Single family homes that are located in a R2 and R3 zone respectively. Does anyone have experience converting Single Family homes into Multi-family homes in New Jersey. I read a forum on BP from an investor in New York and he did very well in a similar endeavor. Thanks.
