Hello BP Community!

Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.

Hi Steve, glad to have you as a part of this awesome community!

We also have a bank account at a smaller Chicago community bank, but there technology isn't as good to be honest.I think @Jonathan Greene's main point is don't step over dollars to pick up pennies.

It’s great to have a community to bounce ideas off of.

Also important to start using sooner rather than later stessa.com (for propertfolio mgmt) and hoah.live an HOA aggregator (in case you own properties in HOA communities).

I found a win - win situation for the corporate owner, the rail road land owner, and the community who were plagued by the vagrants steeling and causing mischief.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.
