@Nick Hawley Did they buy mostly the glue down or click lock style?

Louis rent out the detached garages for extra income; your space would be a little more secure than a standard garage if you build it out with a wall and extra wide (or French style) double doors.

It's to be auctioned off tomorrow.It's a 3 bed/2 bath 1340 sq ft ranch style home.He says the he currently owes about 29k to the mortgage company and only wants a couple thousand to walk away. 

I am not 100% sure you should check with your CPA but I am pretty sure the next property has to be of greater or equal value than the one you sold and you have a limited time to select one and the property has to be a similar style of property.

But as to your specific property, what type units are you thinking of building br/ba, style, finishes, etc?

I like @Cody L. style, Go Big Or Go Home.

I think if i we're to do a rehab, it would have to be this style.

Makes my $220K over-market Zestimate seem like chump change...

If it helps, the unit is a 70s style duplex that we're remodeling in Chattanooga, TN.

Fun read and the pictures show that your quality and design is baller style.
