Garage Conversion Question

[Mark Gingrass]

To start off, I live in a nice part of town (moore, ok). I am looking for advice on garage conversions.

I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath house as it sits. I actually live in the house now. I am thinking about converting half my garage into a 4th bedroom.

Long term plans is to live in the house for no more than 4 or 5 years and then rent the house out.

What are some of the pro's and con's of having a converted garage? Would it be more rentable as a 4 bedroom rather than 3? How much more can I get? What if I decide to sell instead of rent in 5 years?

Also, what kind of costs will I be looking at to do the conversion, as well as undoing the conversion if need be?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
