As you said, you can't change the lay out, so price is goi g to be the issue.

Once I match the height of that built-in seating area with the rest of the room, it really gives me a better space/layout to work with furniture settings.The mirror'd wall will definitely be gone. :-)The carpet will actually be gone eventually too.

I convinced him to sell and got him under contract for $35k .. the house is a 2500sqft 4/2/2 on 1.3 acres and arv is around $180-210k .. looks like it will need about $45-55k worth of rehab .. its got a weird layout and the bathrooms are real small but, it has the sqft and no load bearing walls .. it can also have the porch between the garage and house enclosed to add about another 250 sqft ..I'm hoping to close on it before may .. so these are just some examples .. another great investment and high returns if you do them correctly are Mobile home parks .. you can set them up to have year round and seasonal rentals .. which the seasonal rentals pay a lot more rent during those months .. the villages is expanding into Inverness as well.. they bought a huge amount of land that way .. almost 7 miles worth ..

Roof layout, height, and slope also affect the price, but not by that much. 

I rewired because:1) I changed the layout of the house to open concept which required moving several walls.

The layout is such that on paper I could redesign the bonus room, the downstairs bathroom and part of the 3 car garage into a small apartment/studio with all amenities inside my house.Any suggestions on how I could dig more into this? 

Basically, my point is you should ensure that you lay out your plan ahead of time so that when you come across a deal in the area YOU have targeted all the dots should connect. 

Knowing the future furnishings layout of any room in your house is important.

They should tell a story and also include the layout of the property.

Hi all,I am currently working on a two family house in the riverdale part of the bronx, I went the route of converting the property to a 3 family house but am now wondering if it was worth it.Scenario 1:The house is a two family house where the 1st and 2nd floor are part of 1 unit and the 3rd fl is the second unit.The 1st floor has a garage, living room .5 bath and kitchen (400 sf)The 2nd floor has 3 br and a living room 1.5 bath (900 sf)The 3rd floor is a 2 br 1.5 bath (1000sf)The house was not in a move in condition but if I made some minor design changes and renovated the place I could have updated the house, kept the layout for the 1st fl the same and made the 2nd floor a 4 br 2 bath.
