You definitely don’t want to miss filing that form if it’s required.

Would definitely recommend meeting up with him.

You should definitely connect!

The second question is, I was comparing two paths.

if you can house hack, house hack.good luckHi Nickolas,That is definitely solid advice and I definitely see your point.

If you can definitively prove that the seller intended to deceive you about the square footage for their personal gain, you may be able to take legal action, but probably low chance of success considering you had ample opportunity to measure the home or get an appraisal with measurements prior to closing, and had your chance to negotiate the price based on square footage and all other factors prior to closing. 

I got licensed in early 2021 and Real Estate gave me a new career path and I love everything about it!

And definitely sit with a real estate attorney because if they have destroyed your property you need to know the steps. 

Definitely a consideration when thinking about the reality of refinancing. 

House hacking under $500k is definitely possible, but just depends on your long term goal.
