@Carl Dean I read an article from Remax or Credit.com (cant remember), but the article explained how it would be a wise decision to turn a dining room into another bedroom or something to raise value (another bedroom, closet, or bathroom) since families rarely use dining rooms anymore.

It has 5 bedrooms plus 2 rooms that don't have closets so aren't considered bedrooms but im living in 1 and renting out the other 6.

FtARV 1.3 millionProperty Red Flag:Non-permitted garage conversion into two bedrooms and den now has a closet to become extra bedroom (Seller indicated it is now 6 bed and 3 bath which makes to sq ft to 3200)Electrical and ground wiring are outdated needs to be upgradedHomes felt like it was back in the 70's living in the Brady Bunch era.

I put sound board over the door and locked it shut for privacy between the up/downstairs, added a bathroom with pump-toilet (drain was above basement level), kitchen, turned the area under the stairwell into a large closet (semi-walk-in). 

I was living in a rental at the time with no hook ups and a mini portable washer.

I learned that many, many of the people who claim that they've 'arrived' are self-delusional, pathological liars, will tell you that they've done such-and-such and keep a straight face when, in fact, they couldn't find their way out of a paper bag with a portable Garmin GPS.

when I was in the timber business in the 90s  ( and we made millions at this)  here is what I did that is a little out side the box.. lap tops  you know what those are they are portable computers. 

I'd only need to add a door and closet.

It has two really big walk in closets that used to be the old cement bank vaults.

(as you can imagine there would be wtih 10-15 people in one 2 bdr apt) One particular family had one of their kids sleeping in a closet....not a walk-in closet.
