You can expect to pay $150 - $300 per square foot, which is what it would cost to build an ordinary home.

If it's to hold long term, you need to find out the value of the drive thru.If it was me, I would give them a break on rent for square foot added, but increase based on what market charges for additional rent.Good luckGino

In this case, I billed them and then sent my handyman over to figure out why it was so high, and he uncovered the issue, but fortunately I did not have to foot that bill.Follow your local laws & find a way to sub-meter.

I went through a 750,000 openhouse with sold/pending sign that had a 100 foot 32000 volt high tension tower so close I could hit it with a baseball (in my youth).

The last time I did an insurance MTR it involved my work truck, an alternating current generator, 150 feet of extension cord, a sawzall, an appliance dolly, my 14 foot trailer, a house with fire damage and a $3000 Samsung French door fridge.Don't expect to make any money without doing any work.

Calculating the Deduction: Choose between the simplified method (a flat rate per square foot) or the regular method (actual expenses).How do you manage your home office deductions?

My options are:-Refinance now and foot the extra bill and stay in this current home (I would be footing all future closing costs) and pour most of the money earned from the other sold home into the one I currently live in. 

If you don't trust me with your money, we're on the wrong foot already.This is not to say that there're no sh**ty attorneys/CPAs or that there're no ethical contractors.
