Yes it could easily increase the value. You can put a small closet in. Really good question and I would definitely tell you to consider it. It doesn\'t have to be a huge room or anything like that.

You can work with a loan officer and they can tell you what you should do. They will be able to assist.

Depends on the state but I don\'t think that is legal.

Depends on the area, the price range, and if an appraiser may flag it. Also depends on the actual cost.

Depends on the state. In general it is best to disclose, disclose, disclose. You should talk to a real estate agent (and possibly more than one) to confirm. Perhaps even a broker or closing attorney.

Hi...In general I would recommend you talk with your agent and get their thoughts. Proper communication is always a good thing.

It is always good to have legal, professional representation.

There is no hard and fast rule on this. One open house is not bad...I think more than 3-4 is pretty excessive but depends on the area, the price range, etc. Just my opinion.

Depends on the state...typically it is 18 but depends.

Hi In Tn we have unincorporated areas and they do have lower taxes....HOWEVER that also means they don\'t come with certain amenities such as city schools, city services...we\'ve seen owners that live in unincorporated areas not have sidewalks, street lights, trash service (they have to pay for that separately). It really depends on what you are looking for and what you value. Sometimes the re-sale is better if you are unincorporated due to the lower taxes and sometimes it is less because you are losing some of those services.

That is a great question but not a simple answer. There are pros and cons to both the buyer and the seller. I\'d be happy to discuss further with you....but not an easy or simply answer.

There are definitely agents that can help you with this. Good Luck!
