I am looking to flip this home how ever the lot size is 3400 sqft. The home that sits there right now is 775 sqft, very small! It is a 2 bed 1 bath. My plan is to add 500 sqft to it and a 500 sqft garage which amounts to 1775 sqft total structurally. So the question is can I put this much square footage on a lot this size? I will check with the cities building division as well how ever just wanted to get the thoughts of my fellow BP'ers first. Thanks guys i look forward to your responses.

    @Varinder Kumar

    As long as you stay within the setbacks and easements, the sq footage you are trying to do based on the lot size is pretty reasonable, so it should be doable.
