Pop-top or Sprawl???

[Gary Harrell]

I’ve got a deal in the works on a smaller house on an acre of land in an area that is exploding with growth. Larger houses on similar lots are listed for $140K more than my target.

Would you:

A. Try to flip the little house on the prairie?

B. Pop the top and expand upward?

C. Expand the LHotP laterally out from its original foundation, like maybe add a master suite (BR and BA).

Anyone have experience with both pop-tops AND additions that could tell me which is more cost effective?

Thanks in advance!
