Main kitchen in basement

[Belinda R.]

Looked at some potentials today for a flip and ran across a house with the kitchen in the basement (not common in this area). the basement has a lot of windows that allows a lot of natural light to enter. My realtor has reservations but I insisted on putting in an offer thinking I could get a really good deal. Now, I'm having second thoughts about the kitchen not being on the main floor.  My thought is that I could do a lot with that space and make it a really nice open kitchen.  Any thoughts? Suggestions?
