@Jaron Walling thanks for the info.

@Luz PaganWhen you say you want to enlarge a room, do you mean to have an addition to the house built, or do you mean you tear out a wall and combine two rooms?

I put all of their names on 1 lease, though give them the option to pay their portion separately, always take 1.5 months security because college students love banging counter tops, throwing beer bottles, and tossing each other into walls after 2 shots of gin.Students typically get their refund check end Sept-ish, I give them an option to pay Fall semester Sept-Dec (4 months) and spring semester Jan- May (5 Months) up front, with no discount.

I just finished a home inspection on a three-family I have under contract and there is a basement apartment that has recently been re-done (new walls, ceilings, kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plumbing, etc.)

This leaves us with a diagonal family room wall without a fireplace.Should we do this?

Always have a vision board prominently displayed everywhere (wall in office, phone, computer background)8.

@Jaron Walling the appraisal off the initial purchase or the new appraisal from the new loan?

Less concrete volume and greater interior volume to exterior wall surface.

You could re-frame to include doors and partition it off but most garages built like this will be pretty tight if you add a wall if you have a 2 car garage.
