adding an extra bedroom
Hello, i am under contract on a 4 beds/3 baths property and i would like to convert the Florida room into a bedroom legally in order to make more money if i rent it to a section 8 tenant. Florida room is like 400 sq ft and it already has a bathroom.
Section 8 pays up to $2750 for 4 bedrooms in that area but they pay up to $3215 for 5 bedrooms so that's why i would like to convert this property into a 5 beds/3 baths
Now, i have never tried to add an extra bedroom and i don't know what i need to do.
Can someone please tell me what the process is and how to go about it?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
