However, you can expect to recover about 50-55% of your investment when selling the home.Another good option would be to consider converting attic space, finishing a basement, or repurposing a large living area to add a bedroom without expanding the home's footprint.Some other tips to help you save on materials while still creating an appealing finished product: buy in bulk, shop at discount stores and outlets, look for overstock, discontinued items, or slightly imperfect materials, attend auctions and Estate sales, incorporate reclaimed wood, vintage fixtures, or other salvaged items for a unique look at a lower cost, build relationships with suppliers...If you have any more questions or are looking for funding please feel free to reach out to us, we're a private lender.Regards,Jackson
