Potential First Investment Property

[Mark Laczynski]

I looked at a property today that I would be happy to put an offer out. Two questions are coming to mind before pulling such a trigger.

1) The basement is unfinished, I'm curious if there is any reason someone could not finish a basement that would include a bathroom & kitchen. Is there something I should check for myself? (The property currently is a multi family top-bottom situation)

2) Should I have a contractor look at the basement before putting my offer in or is there another time in the buying process I can bring them in?

Looking forward to your insights.
