Move a bedroom to the basement to create master suite??

It's relatively straight forward... dig a big hole, cut a bigger hole in the cement wall... throw in a larger window... put in one of those metal guard thingies... backfill dirt.IMO, just about anyone who wants "space" in their basement should look to do it just for the amount of extra natural light they bring in at a very reasonable cost.

If you can, pro rate each deal so that if one property fails to meet any inspection or title issue it does not kill the sale of the remaining properties, if that would be to your advantage and your seller will sell that way.Hopefully you broke out the sale price of each property and not all for XXX dollars, everyone will need individual prices for taxes and financing if any.I have done multiple properties on several occassions and one one contract, however the wording in many areas of the contract were changed to reflect the plural nature of the deal.
