Is it possible to add a walkout entry to an existing basement?
Answers:
Yes, but it can be an expensive project, especially if you are below grade. You need to make sure that the grading still runs away from the house so that you don't end up with a wet walk out basement. you might have to add an awning to direct the rain away as well.

Dig deep. However, might be cheaper to buy a house with a walk out basements.

Yes you can, consult a carpenter about it. Get at least 2 or more to look at it.
You can do it, yes. But consider how far down you may to dig, and then would you have water seeping into it later on.. Do you live on an elevated piece of propriety, to make this change possible..
I agree with the first person to answer you.. you may wish to consider moving.. might be cheaper in the long run.
Call a few contractors, and see what they have to say..
Good luck!
A lot of times basement egress is required by code for a finished basement.
If you are below grade there would be issues that would make it an usatisfactory condition for a walkout.
If egress is required for code you may want to consider a basement egress window.
