Garage: Destroyed. Next steps?
Hey everyone, I have a garage that has been halfway demolished by falling tree limbs. As you can see from the photos, water damage is starting to take place...It's a really old garage.
The home was originally purchased in 2007 for $41,000 and is located in Springfield, IL. 62703
I have a few options that I could pursue:
- Sell the house as-is
- Fix the garage, then sell the house
- Demolish the garage, then sell the house
I guess what I am asking is: is it worth it to fix this old garage? I know there are a lot of factors that go into that question so I need help. My first instinct is to get a roofing contractor and real estate agent to have a look and get their opinion for this home/neighborhood.
I know this is a big messy question but any input would be really helpful, in case you're wondering I have no experience in real estate. Thank you!
