Converting a garage into living space.

Hey BP Family!

So I have a decent size Triplex in a great B neighborhood close to a lot of shopping a private college.

I'm looking to maximize this property's space. There is a detached 3 car garage on the property. I want to convert this into living space. Potentially add a level or take two bays and convert them.

The property is zoned for multifamily up to 4 units and we only have 3 currently. Reaching out to get some advice on a project like this. Also, has anyone done this in Milwaukee Wi before not sure about building a garage out? Cost to a project like this. One point of reference I know I can get a min $850 a month for a studio that is completely rehabbed in my neighborhood.

The end strategy is either an AIRBNB or long term rental.
