2nd Kitchen in a Single-Family Home

I live in Michigan and I just bought a two-story single-family home w/ basement. There is a main kitchen on the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor has one smaller bedroom and one larger bedroom. I want to turn the smaller bedroom into a kitchen space. The intention of making the 2nd kitchen is so that it can be used by the person living in the 2nd floor bedroom. I will get a proper permit from the city to do this work, but I want to make sure that I can keep this home as a single-family home and not to be considered as a multi-family home after the kitchen is added. I know every state & city has a different zoning ordinance, but just as a general rule of thumb, what would be a safer approach to take when I plan the kitchen layout and functions/installed appliances in order to avoid the risk of getting this home considered as a multi-family home by the city? FYI, I'll be working on this project on my own as an extension of the current remodelling project that I'm working on right now, and I already have a plumbing system that can be expanded for the 2nd kitchen installed and also I already passed a rough-in inspection.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
