I’m currently interested in one home in the Downtown Houston area- it’s a flip. I put an offer and counteroffers in and then fully stopped. I realized that I wanted to make sure this is a legitimate flip. The original home was a 2 bedroom/ 1 bathroom, 960 sqft home. The new one is a 3 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms, 1500 sqft home. I asked for them to send over documentation with permitting, etc.

My agent called me yesterday saying that I’ll receive a survey of the home. (Implying that should be enough.) This morning, she sent me screenshots of her convo with the listing agent that they’ll receive architectural plans today (again, implying that this should be enough). I also looked up the property on the Harris County Appraisal website and… still at 960sqft.

Is this as big of a red flag as I think it is? Am I overreacting, or are they trying to sell me an unpermitted addition?
