Ringgold Georgia House Hacking
Hey everyone, was just curious if anyone is familiar with the Ringgold GA area right outside Chattanooga TN. I currently live there and was wondering about using the house hacking method to convert my 800 sq foot basement into another large bedroom/ in law suite. My question is would it add more value for my area as a finished basement like it currently is or would it be better to add a kitchen and full bathroom down there? The house is currently a 3/2 with 2800 sq. feet including the finished basement. It does currently have hook ups for a kitchen, and I'm assuming the cost to add the bathroom and some walls and equipment would likely run me about 10-15k. Any suggestions would be welcomed, let me know if I'm missing any key information. I am going to refer to the book on estimating rehab costs when my buddy gives me my book back.
