Adding bedrooms in a Flip

[Sacha St Lot]

Hi,

I’m currently doing a flip in Hudson FL. The house is a 3/2 with a pool and a indoor garage. I plan on transforming the garage into a 4th bedroom where I’m going to install a split AC. Will I need to register the 4th bedroom with the city and get permits to get it done??

I've done this several times. Ryan nailed it. What you are describing is much easier said than done if you are planning to do it "legit"

Another bit of feedback I learned ~10 years ago on a flip where I did exactly this. I learned to never convert a garage into an additional bedroom again, unless I have room on the lot to build another garage. Buyers out here would much rather have a garage than an extra bedroom (unless you're selling to a short term rental buyer). Spend some time talking with agents about the buyer pool in your area. They too might rather have a garage.
