You've thought this out and are setting yourself up for a wonderful future. Best wishes.

Thank you.

I think the max renovation is $250,000 over sales price.

PM me if you would like more info on this.

I also see the million dollar homes with single-wides in the area, have they changed the zoning on them to make sure they cant replace the old with a new SW?

Not sure I understood? Elaborate, please.

I was told to go to county HUD and find out about strategic planning for the area. THAT is supposed to be the ultimate guide on what to do?

A local guy here built a huge mansion where everything in the area is SFR 1400 sq ft average and tried selling it and lost his shorts on it.
Good luck. I can tell you it will be a love hate relationship. Word of advice no matter how mad you get never yell at your wife. She's on your side.

Where did this come from? She's the one who's opposed to remodeling, but she's opposed to anything that disrupts established things anyway. I am the reckless one in the family...
