When Buying A House Look Ahead For Space Needs
Andy Lang notes buyers often add space within a few years by finishing attic or basement, adding a second bathroom, expanding kitchens, or building extra bedrooms.

Some owners prefer to DIY to save costs, but must be sure they will follow through and know what they are doing.
