Does a garage conversion add value?

[Evan Holly]

Add a bedroom, but lose a garage... I'm in the process of a BRRRR and am hoping to get a high appraisal. I'd like to add a bedroom and 400 square feet, as it will be an STR and a garage won't be needed much. All the comps have garages, so it's hard for me to square how an appraiser would view this. Can anyone share their personal experience with this? Thank you!
