Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has.
