If you plan to move or modify any of the home's bearing walls (any exterior walls and some interior walls, based on the original engineering), you should have your original home plans reviewed by an engineer. If you do not have the original plans, have an engineer do an on-site review. He/she will be able to let you know what walls need to stay, and what you can do to modify any bearing walls. As for changing any non-bearing walls, the biggest obstacle is in the existing Plumbing or electrical wires in the walls. All of these can be properly addressed by a licensed contractor. Also, chances are you will need to submit to your municipality for a permit. Go to their website and they should have permit information available. This can be a do-it-yourself project for those who know how! Good luck!
