Question on Adding Bedrooms

[Cole Britting]

Hi all!

I have a question on adding bedrooms to a property. I am thinking about house hacking, and I would love to try and find a property where I can add a bedroom. If there is no opportunity for this in the main parts of the house, I think the best way is to either convert an unfinished basement, or convert a garage. 

Does adding bedrooms always increase the value of a home? Or would converting a garage into a bedroom decrease the home's value because of the loss of the garage? Does it depend on the market you are in? 

If anybody has some information on this or some other creative ways to add a bedroom please let me know.

Thanks everyone!
