18 of my single family homes did not have garages behind them when I bought
them in the late 1990s.   After we rehabbed the houses, we sent letters to
our tenants asking them if they would pay an extra $75 per month for a new
22 X 22 garage with door opener.  Every single tenant said they would love
to have a garage for the extra amount and we built them over a 2 year
period.  All  I can say is tenants sure do love garages!
