Usually its starts with "Hey is this John Doe", Or "are you the owner of property 123 main street".

New mechanicals (HVAC, electric, plumbing), kitchen, bathroom, adding a 1/2 bath in basement or 1st floor, new drywall, floors, paint, etc.

It turned out there were aluminum wires so we upgraded the electrical service, removed all of the walls so we could rewire the house (4 bed 2 bath).

If its in the city where off street parking is a huge perk and it has a legal curb cut then I would keep the garage in most cases. 

The dreamy master bedroom is spacious, offering a large walk-in closet and a master bath you have How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Get help from Fund & Grow after paying them $3000 in procuring funding to buy one of Morris Invest's Turn-key new construction 3 bdrm, 2 bath homes for $68500 plus closing.

Its a 2 bedroom 2 bath with a ton of storage. 

The time value of money kicks in for us and we end up taking a bath on the deal.

Now the minimum standards your basement has to hit for it to be able to count as assessed sqft not estimated is a height of 7 ft, a point of egress (bilco doors) and a window usually in the rear, It's one of those things where if your going to go through the process of digging out a basement you might as well go for it and dig it deeper then 7 and closer to 8 ft so you actually stand out compared to the competition.Now the other side of this coin which I would suggest is if you're willing to spend 40-50k on a basement dig, consider adding a 3rd story addition if your a 2 story (think master suite, walk in closet, master bath) or an addition off the back and add a roof deck if your a 3 story (either master suite or just additional bedroom).
