Garage Rehab when flipping an older home.

[Rob Cross]

I'm wondering whether a garage rehab will affect a potential buyer's decision on a purchase? Especially when dealing with older homes.

Quote from @Nathan Grabau:

You need to drive around your neighborhood and see what other people are doing. This will give you a good idea of whether buyers in the area expect a garage. If people expect a garage and they are not going to get one at your house, you will shrink you buyer pool.

In most areas, this is not a huge value add(for resale at least). That being said, in some fast growing/ high population density areas, the value is very high.

 Thank you Nathan.
