Investment Property Square Footage, Bedroom and/or Unit Expansion
Hi all,
After listening to a few of the webinars, I am curious into the process for of buying 2 or 3 bedroom properties and adding square footage and extra living space. More specifically, increasing square footage and adding a bedroom or adding a new unit, whether exterior or interior. I am looking to get into my first property in September and at first i didn't even want to consider 2 bedrooms. After listening to a few webinars that have talked about adding square footage and adding an additional bedroom or adding a new unit to extend the house and starting off small before scaling out to make sure you get a feel of how the rental process works, I want to consider 2 bedrooms with the possibility for future expansion. I would love to hear any and all success stories, failure stories, and book recommendations to learn more about the process, architectural design considerations and costs involved.
Regards,
Kim
