Garage doors, wrong direction

Ben Shaw
Posted

Here's one for you...
I'm a new investor and recently bought my first duplex in Minneapolis, MN. I have a garage, however, it faces the wrong direction; it's an older house, so I think at one time there was a driveway that ran along the side of the house to the garage. Now, the driveway is gone. There is an alley but this garage has no doors facing the alley. The garage itself is pretty dilapidated--old water damaged doors, a new roof, but many ad hoc repairs and some signs of rot. It's usable, just not in great shape.

I need more parking out back for my tenants, so I need to solve the problem that the garage poses. My question is, do I bulldoze the garage and just use the empty space for parking? Or do I try to just pop doors on the right side of the garage? 


Thanks for the help, all!
