Because I am in the very beginning of becoming an REI, I'm inching my way with baby steps and establishing a plan.

The net clear height opening shall be not less than 24 inches (610 mm) and the net clear width shall be not less than 20 inches (508 mm).Exception: Grade floor or below grade openings shall have a net clear opening of not less than 5 square feet (0.465 m2)R310.2.2 Window sill height.Where a window is provided as the emergency escape and rescue opening, it shall have a sill height of not more than 44 inches (1118 mm) above the floor; where the sill height is below grade, it shall be provided with a window well in accordance with Section R310.2.3R310.2.3 Window wells.The horizontal area of the window well shall be not less than 9 square feet (0.9 m2), with a horizontal projection and width of not less than 36 inches (914 mm).

@Jamesfreeman, generally snow removal costs vary with inch range increments.

.:  Hi Jacob,You seem like a newbe at this.If you can find this square space you can slip a bathroom into it.If you can find a space 6 inches longer, and your renter pool has a lot of overweight people in it, you can opt for a 60 in x 36 in shower pan setup to keep them from bumping up against the walls.Also you can easily put in a bathtub if you think you renters would rather have that (small children typically) .With no bath you may turn away renters with small children--It's unpredictable, but I think a big shower makes the space feel bigger, and with the flexi hose wand part, ladies can comfortable use it instead of a bath--although for some you may have to point that out.So for a shower, there could be downsides, with a bath less risk--that's your call.I put in a storyboard to help you think about it better.Also I swapped the window for a bathroom type window.Many say windows in a shower can be problematical, but you have one now and when showing the unit in other than winter, having that window open makes the bath feel fresh, and a surround would cover the old window.

I had them come if we got 1.5 inch's or more and asked to be first on their route as I have residents that go into the office.  

Also, there's a 6-inch step down into the living room.)

My exit strategy was to rent it out for as long as I could, but my situation has changed and I am inching towards an Owner/finance selling strategy to an owner occupant.

This particular floorplan is accurate to within 1-2 inches on every wall which is good enough for marketing.

The idea behind that is because once you give an inch (say a 10% refund) and they are still occupying they will find more and demand more

They can put a man on the moon, and make tiny bonsai trees, but they cannot make a grass variety that only grows to 2 or 3 inches maximum for every climate in the USA.This is a huge money making opportunity for some green thumb to "invent".They have dogs that will fit in a teacup, whey not grass--everyone hates cutting it.Just my 2 cents.
