Square Footage Discrepancy
I have a fix and flip property under contract and am still in my inspection period. During my due diligence I discovered that the assessors office has the square footage of the house at 2342 sqft. This felt a bit off seeing as how another house with a similar floor plan was approximately 100 square feet less while having additions (extra bedroom) that our house didn't. I did some poking around on the assessors website and found that the assessed 2342 sqft is including an enclosed patio and a workshop. What would be the best way to proceed given this scenario? Should I be concerned that when I go to resell the property the inspector will measure the property and it will not line up with the assessed square footage?
