County Record Basement Bedroom

[Vipul Vaghela]

I was looking at one of the single-family houses, and it was listed as four beds and two baths. I did a walkthrough of the property and noticed that one bedroom and one bath are in the basement. I also check the county record, and it was recorded as four beds and two baths. Does that mean the basement bedroom and bath are legal?

This is important for me to know because if it is not legal then I should recalculate the ARV and rehab budget. As I have to remove the bathroom and bedroom instead of finishing the full basement.
