Re-Converting Garage Conversions???

it would depend on what's been done. as you say, there are many different levels of conversion. i'd say if you're going to reconvert each will have to be assessed. my question to you is, if you're still wholesaling why do anything but get estimates for your end buyer?

Hey, thanks, Rob!

A few of these have come up and I'm pondering for personal rentals. Wanted to get a ballpark figure on cost of repairs budget...there are 2 in one of "MY" target neighborhoods.
And they're cheap (and ugly and appear rejected), but I cannot get an estimate on something I'm simply speculating & trying to visual if it's really possible from my laptop. I need to look before I leap. It seems I answered my own quest'n.
I suppose I could find an expert to do a walk-through with me just to get an idea of feasibility and such costs.

Being a visual person, I'd like to see a reversal, though.
Or perhaps it's just pie-in-sky optimistic jargon in marketing the listed property.
(Who really does this)?

Wondering, mostly, if anyone here has actually had an experience with such a process.

since you're in a warm climate, you may want to keep them converted. especially if they've been turned into an extra bedroom. more bedrooms = more rent .

Yes, an alternative is to add a carport (for hail storms). Which is okay if the garage is in the rear alleyway.
However, a carport in the front distracts from curb appeal and is UNlike other neighboring homes, which would distract from the concept of reverting to the original 3-2-1 or 3-2-2 standard and bringing it back to original. This is my model (also that of my buyers).

The carport would stick out like a sore thumb (like the obvious conversion does), unless done properly. There a few (maybe a handful of) conversions done well inside the Metroplex; suited to the style of the house. I was speaking of the ugly ones that are not cohesive. The conversions are visible from the street and somewhat of an eyesore. Had a second bathroom been added, it would make all the difference. A 4-2 would be more desirable and popular. But 4-1-0s are not. These conversions don't really convey outside the original family's usage and appear hard to resell. And wouldn't one need to know if the garage had been properly insulated? We do have mild winters in Texas with temps at below freezing. LOL

Wanting to look at actual reconversion process. I've thought of alternatives; easier "fixes."
Perhaps, it's not really feasible, just someone's imaginary selling point.

i'm just thinking aloud lol

LOL...I appreciate you looking out for me.
Congrats on your deals, BTW!

First, you want to find out if the garage conversion is legal and permitted. If it doesn't comply with the local zoning/building codes or the seller did not get a building permit when the work was done, you might not have any choice but to convert back to a garage.

When I was in CA, I lived near the beach and landlords would convert garages into bedrooms to make more rent $$. They were all done without permits and the doors left on to hide the conversion from any passing building inspectors. Even if the work was done corrrectly, the building code required a certain number of off-street parking spaces. By converting the garage into living space, it removed parking spaces making the conversion illegal. I've "re-converted" two garages, it's not as much work as it looks like it would be.

Even if the garage door has been removed and the original opening has been closed in there is ONE BIG beam over where the garage door used to be, so it's not hard to remove the framing that was added underneath, restore the garage door opening, and put in a new garage door. A contractor would be able to give you an estimate, just like any other work.

Thank you, Eric!
I'm thinking each one is different (unique) and it would depend upon what was done during the conversion process.

Raised some valid argument here which you want to find out in order to facing any difficulty in future

I agree with just plan E garage conversions are usually not a big deal unless they really chopped it up. i havnt done any i am wholesaling but have made tons of offers on hms with converted garages n hve talked with contractors n my buyers.

i would get a contractor to def give you an estimate actually 3 of them.
