Commercial space to house hack

Hello everyone- I found an building 3200sqft in a sleepy town in GA. I was thinking and realized with the space I can build out basically a quadriplex. It would take moving around the walls, adding 4 showers to the 4 bathrooms and adding a kitchen (already has multiple sinks -( it may have been a daycare). the rents are high, i could rent out for $1200 each + bills since they wouldnt be separate and my cash flow would be aprox $2000 a month once i move on to my next home. My question is when doing this, what kind of steps do i need to take in due diligence to make sure its going to be able to get done (permits and Ect?) i know you can apply for permits- but how can I know ahead of time? Any advise would be great. Zillow dosent show the actual address so i don't know what it is zoned. That's the first thing ill look into when i reach out. Any ideas?

Some areas also require sufficient parking so you may also want to ask the city/seller about that.
