You will not get any notifications when someone is there doing damage or breaking in but you can replay the footage after the fact if they dont steal the computer or NVR.I use Digital watchdog cameras and software.

I don't recall seeing anything limiting the number of residents, other than a square footage per person requirement. 

I found a potential property and I think that's where the "extra" square footage is coming into play (the house has 2 bedrooms and 1,100 SF).I'm assuming adding a bedroom here may be more complicated because of matching the siding on the house - probably not worth the cost but I'm not sure.Anyone have experience with something like this?

The appraiser counted the basement finished square footage as the same value as the above grade square footage.

How do you find out how much square footage you can build on your property?

Typically, this only applies to tenants who lease less than a specific percentage or square footage of the building.

I see so many room illegal additions/conversions where the homeowner spends a lot of money on the project, but when they sell the appraiser assigns it no value because the square footage is unpermitted.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but below grade basements are often not counted in the livable square footage of a home, or valued the same.

In any case, I wonder if a smaller project (say 4 units) that is on the smaller side with square footage can be built comparatively inexpensively.

I know it depends on the square footage that got affected but I think he said it’s a little over 300sq ft that got hit... but just wanted to get feedback maybe hear some experiences
