I am looking to move and get started as soon as possible, and figured that with a resource like Bigger Pockets I should utilize it. 

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated !! 

Once that's finished I'd like to finish the other side in the same way.Is there a good resource describing what will be necessary to make the attic space legally qualify as bedrooms in Grand Rapids?
