I recently bought a two family home and the basement is fully finished without a kitchen but ample space  and I have been recently toying with the idea of renting the basement atleast as a room sharing however being a older home it doesn't have the kind of electrical capacity to accomodate a decent electric stove which has very high amperage requirements (atleast 150 amps -200 amps) besides I am not considering gas stove as an option.As is I can envision fuse tripping beside I don't have any 220 line,also it gets very cold in winter in the basement so I will most likeli need a supplemental heater in the basement so elctric upgrade seems like a must if I decide to rent it out.However I was wondering would it be a better idea to have solar panels to supplement my additional electrical needs?

Some Housing Authorities will also post on there website what the max. allowance is for rent based on # of bedrooms... 

I have been patiently waiting for the weather to warm up so I can finish the last piece to my flip in the metro Detroit area.

We are just finishing up the final three units, so hopefully the decision to go with 5 versus 4 units will bear fruit with future appraisals. 

I also look at the age of the property, how durable the finished are, etc.

Hello,I just finished rehabbing a SFR in Kingwood TX that was flooded.

I can't imagine that licensed contractors hire architects just to finish a basement.Truthfully, I'm not so sure the building wasn't built with the first floor duplexed down because there is only one other exit from the basement and that's to the outside.

He's got a bit of a rough past, basically raised himself from a very young age, served some time in prison, not sure if he's finished high-school, etc.

I recently looked at a home that a rehab was started on and not finished.
