It really depends on space, power, layout and other variables as to how much to actually grow.

Morrison,Thank you for the kind offer to loan me such a substantial sum of money.With Treasuries in the 2 to 4% range, I’m honored you would trust me, a barely experienced stranger you found anonymously on the internet, with your money at just over the same rate.

Your next step is to find a mortgage lender - local, not internet, and not Navy Fed - ask any local agent why, and an agent. 

I also recommend that if you do end up renting by the bedroom, that you setup a lease with the individuals renting a room because it will help lay out the expectations of what the rental will look like (i.e. ground rules for the home and cost allocations among tenants). 

Otherwise the house is what I'm looking for, no HOA, large lot, 2006 built/newer and 2.3K sf. 4 bed 2.75 bath, like the layout, modern kitchen but not new construction fancy...but like I said the house is roomy and the layout is great for me.I offered 423K on account of carpet, fence, time on MLS, etc.

I made dozens of phone calls, spent probably 100 hours scouring the internet and vetting deals, and flew down to Houston to check out properties.

Things to consider:SFR - Cost per sq ft, comps, location, layout, lot size, zoning, neighbors, schools etc.

Hi- Looking to buy and live in either of these 2 communities and hoping appreciation (total 10%) in next 5-7 years.Prices vary due to multiple layouts and one being Townhomes vs other stacked TH.Has anyone experienced dealing with either of the builders ?

I shared an article (printed out, because she doesn't have internet) written by an expert arachnologist at University of Wyoming that says this is a common - but false - claim.

Reply to the county and ask them to send you the layout of the file.
