Assuming of course that the finishing work was permitted and performed to code, and the new room's use conforms to habitability laws (for example, the bedrooms meet minimum dimension, ventilation, heating, and ingress/egress requirements).

Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on.

Some lenders don't seem aware of this though, so I actually had to go and find the actual language in the TX code to prove it to an underwriting depart.  

Hey Andrew, I'm looking at the following Zip codes: 77047, 77048, 77075, 77033,77034.

The building codes in the area are loose. 

@Youseif AliThe Allegheny County Real Estate Office in downtown Pittsburgh has a CD/Flash drive you can purchase that contains an excel spreadsheet with all matter of useful information, but it definitely includes USE CODE and neighborhood/municipality. 

Good evening members,As many of you have seen, the DFW market area is booming with new construction which is causing a lot of old "stay away" neighborhoods to be gentrified.A lot of these suburbs are becoming very popular for both the young and old generations.That being said, I wanted to ask for those of you who wholesale or invest in the DFW market what suburbs/zip codes are you guys considering now that you didn't consider before AND which are some places that you are still a "NO WAY JOSE" mentality.The reason why I am asking this is that I am starting to learn more about the DFW market (I am not from here).

We’d also appreciate any suggestions on area’s to live in and up and coming zip codes.

Technically the code says 70 square feet for one person minimum of dimension in any direction 7 feet.
