Hello, I would love to help. We are in most states. 

Is it zoned for a duplex? Is the HOA ok with a duplex conversion? Thats your starting point before you do anything else.

Carol, given the age of the roof and the fact your policy is ACV, you probably would have seen heavy depreciation — possibly leaving you with very little payout after your deductible. In that situation, paying out of pocket to avoid a claim on your record was a reasonable choice, especially if you want to avoid possible non-renewal or rate hikes.

I would, however, review your policy before the next renewal to see if replacement cost coverage is an option for future losses, and make sure your liability limits are where they need to be. For now, it sounds like you made a smart call based on the facts you had.

Houston is a tough market. If you haven't found anyone yet I may be able to help.

I second Mitch advice! But tax value is not appraised value. Get some comps from a realtor for true value and then make your decision.

Great advice! 

Hi Peter I may have a market. Shoot me a PM and let's connect.

I don't know about "major" downturn but its definitely a slowing normal market. Buyers are picky and sellers are anxious. It's really a good time to get a deal.  It reminds me of the normal days. I think the problem is we've gotten used to multiple offer bidding wars thinking that was normal.
