- You need a laser printer capable of printing legal sized documents and scanning them which can cost upwards of $500 if not more.

Another option is “skid-based” construction where a whole (small) structure is built on skids (6x wood beams) that support the structure during construction, the transport, and final resting of the building on the site.

@Cory Beam the best way to house-hack, well done! 

Full gut renovation, major structural repairs (replaced the main beam, lifting the center of the house over a foot to level it), all electrical and plumbing, we dug out the basement to add more heigh clearance, roof, siding, sidewalks, driveway, all cosmetics, drywall, insulation, paint, kitchens, bathrooms, etc.

.$20k budgeted rehab, Okay green light, then run into a $13k pier and beam foundation issue, sudden red light?  

Usually, it's as simple as throwing some carbon strips or steel beams on the wall. 

Examples of what I mean are:  in the late '40s and early '50s a "heavy wall" became a common iteration on a pier-and-beam foundation. 

An almost endless array of filters can be used to laser target the best prospects with these lists.

(its like 2 2x4s worth of wood and some nails. and a new window.) this would give you a lot more space for counter tops.option 2. remove that wall between dining and kitchen, if its load bearing get the permits and put in a beam. we also did this on our same live in flip and the beam cost about $800 and labor would have been around 3-5k. obviously this is the more expensive route but then you could have an eat in kitchen space and then if you can remove the wall with the closets you would have completely open concept.

paint, removed one wall, granite counters, refinished cabinets, removed built-ins, new flooring, new fixtures, wrapped beams and mantle in cedar, serviced HVAC, new vanities.
