Thanks for the swift kick to the head, I spaced that one.Generating value on income that isn't proven is a prime reason why relying on a seller's proforma without doing your own numbers rarely tells the story.

The existing half bath was lovingly referred to as the “murder bathroom”, You had to walk down a pitch black hallway, off the mechanical space, and the bathroom was elevated up about 8-10” (giving it maybe 6’-6” headroom) measured maybe 4' x 4' and the walls were made of laminate panels.

@Mark Pedroza  I'm finding a lot of properties where the spouse has died and the other spouse still lives in the house.

Most GCs will mark up the costs 15-25% as the GC fee.

Even if you aren't connected, but have advice on a lead, I would love to hear from you.Thanks,Mark

Our zooming is R5 My question is can I built two more living space units on top of the garages?

If you have a longer lease, you'll be committed to dealing with that situation unless you can get them to agree to move out sooner.In our leases for the extra room(s) in the house, we made sure to spell out everything such as what was common space and what wasn't.

These are not allowed due to the zoning and since the property is in proximity to the airport which places density requirements on the parcel.My plan is to move into the house and fix the other building up into office space to rent out. 

@Mark Dance make sure you check with your local magistrate and possible your attorney before discarding anything.
