The house we are looking at is like $130K and I was thinking to add on two more bedrooms would be another $30K? That would put us at $160K and I am sure we can find a similar 3 or 4 bedroom house for that much. I just really loved the location/yard at this place. I don’t know much about additions, but depending on the lot layout, and building restrictions… it could very easily go way above 30K Pgh land doesn’t have the kind of value where it typically makes sense to add on, especially right after buying. You could do it, and love it… but then it could take you 1/2 of forever to get your equity back out. If it’s your first house, chances are it won’t be your last house. for the most part younger people aren’t hanging on to houses for 30-40 years anymore Oh, and thanks Blackbelt! (btw, I think that garage is still available if you need it again - just call Vince) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/home-addition-question/200280)._
