How much does it cost to finish a basement?
I know it depends alot of square feet and other factors, but what is a general rule of thumb? I'm looking at houses right now and basically, I will not buy a house without a finished basement. I've noticed that alot of houses are significantly cheaper that I like, but the only thing that gets me away from them is not having a finished basement. I'm kinda in a time crunch, because my FHA 4.7% interest rate only lasts for so long. Hell of a time to buy a house right now.

I don't want to put a room down there or anything. Don't really need a bathroom either. Just a wet bar, some good chiefs memorabilia, and make it a nice rec room. BTW, I am not handy at all. Unless it's something I can learn in a weekend, I ain't doin' it. Any good reputable companies around here that specialize in that kind of thing?

Not necessarily.

I love non-cardiovascular sports.
The most expensive part of putting in a bathroom is the plumbing, and your wet bar would probably require more of it than a bathroom would.

Ah well, I'll just get a cheap free standing bar then. It'll work. Just put a mini-fridge in it. As far as investment property, yeah, I'm trying to find a house that in a good market is going to go 20K more than it does right now in five years. But then again, most people don't think the market is going to recovery fully in 5 years I don't think

Well, let's take it a piece at a time.

An area 24x 24 would cost about $1200 - $1800 to carpet.

Next....

Why a garage? Oh.....I don't know, how about something most home owners refer to as "resale value".

And you maximize your profits if you put a little cash and elbow grease into doing some imporvements/upgrades.

I personally don't care about having a garage. But I'm going to buy a house with a garage, unless it's just an unbelievable deal. Just because of resale value. I really could care less if I parked my car in a garage, but I'm not a car guy. Can just get a shed for 400 bucks, put all your lawn and garden stuff in it.

I didn't realize that you lived in SoCal where we only get about 24 days of rain all year.

No snow, no ice, no hail, no thunderstorms, no lightening, no rust, no tornadoes and no one EVER breaks into cars on the driveway.

Welcome!

A garage can also double as a man-cave.

I've parked my car outside since I was 16 years old, haven't had any problems. Comp ded of $120 pretty much puts me at ease with anything that could happen outside. The places I'm planning on living will be in suburban areas on quiet streets, so not real worried about it. Plus I don't keep anything valuable in my car anyway.

I should of known Iowaclown and McCloud would be in here making fun of me just for personal preferences.

Mine's detached from my house.

And full of everything that doesn't fit in the house, including all of our Costco items and "stock surplus" so that I don't have to go to Costo every week.

For what it's worth, to put in the shelving in my garage, I broke two hammer drills while drilling more than 300 holes for shelving.

And you ****ing guys think I'm Lord of the Manor.

No, Dude, congratulations!

I just wanted to make sure (DaneMcCloud-style) that you were taking everything into account when eschewing a garage.
