It does not have a closet but we would add one, to officially make it a fourth bedroom.The converted garage was done without a permit, therefore the property appraiser website is not registering the garage as square footage of the house.Will an FHA appraiser count the garage as a 4th bedroom even if the square footage is not part of the living square feet on the property appraiser website?

Hi Dustin, my friend has an extra room in Logan Square.

The rules that you cited seem to corroborate my thoughts: "(A) A non-lawyer shall not furnish to another for compensation, direct or indirect, advice or service under circumstances which require his use of legal knowledge or skill in the application of any law, federal, state or local, dealing with taxes, except:(2) A certified public accountant or a person duly enrolled may practice before the Internal Revenue Service, as those terms are defined by the then applicable federal regulations and the extent permitted therein.(4) A non-lawyer may render such advice or service incident to an engagement to provide products or services which he is otherwise authorized to provide, where such advice or service arises out of the providing of such other products or services and was not the principal purpose of the engagement."

But the extra projects above added to our timeframe as well, and we are now hoping to have the house rental ready in 2-3 weeks.Tub/shower surrounds:Kitchen in progress:A little more landscaping work and the exterior will be complete:
