Single Family Conversion to Duplex

[Gabriel Moyers]

Hi everyone,

I'm seeking guidance on the procedure for converting a single-family home into a duplex in the City of Miami. As a licensed realtor, I've come across many who claim to know the 'do's and don'ts' of this process, but I'm not always convinced these are the best practices.

I've helped many families find their dream homes and now see the importance of creating multi-generational assets. With rent and mortgage costs doubling in recent years, affordability for locals has decreased significantly. This has led more families to live together to stay in our beautiful city.

Specifically, I'm interested in properties within the T3-0 and T3-L zoning areas. What are the best practices for legally converting a portion of a home into a duplex? Any insights on how to achieve this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
