Hey KZfaq fam!
Almost two years ago my wife and I bought a house in Nashville with a detached garage with the plan of converting it into a rental property so that we could HOUSE HACK. It has taken about a year to get to where we are today and it has been a fun adventure!
In this video I go reveal the before and after photos and also I breakdown the cost of doing a project like this! We demo'd, did rough in plumbing & electrical, excavated, poured the concrete slab, framed the bedrooms, bathroom & closed in the garage door along with putting in the windows and a ton more!
I hope you all enjoy and make sure you like subscribe and comment on the video! Any questions, drop them below and i'll do my best to help answer!
Thanks!
If you are ever in the area and want to stay at our place feel free to book a stay! :

I love the fact that you really revealed how much the breakdown of the cost of this garage apartment conversion cost you. There are so many youtubers who are so shy about talking about finances and their expenses, budgets, etc... It seems o be such and no no to discuss your finances on youtube. So I love that you actually showed us the spreadsheet with all the costs in categories with the columns, etc... You rocked that part of the video! Thanks so much for being open and honest about the money aspect of this project.

I know like wtf, why don’t nobody want to tell others the truth, why is everybody so stingy with te info. I recently purchased a home , I looked everywhere for info , I watched numerous videos on KZfaq and nobody ever discussed prices so I decided to fuk it and go ask myself and so I did and bought my first home. And now I’m in the process of converting the garage but perhaps I should do the same thing and call a few places and get a few real quotes instead of watching videos on KZfaq

I bought a 10 acre piece of land in Northwest Arizona earlier this year with a 24x20 2 car garage on it and i'm in the middle of building it into a tiny home for when I retire at the end of the year. My floor plan is flipped from yours and the reason for it simple, more floor space. I built a 2 foot bump out where the garage door was so I could put my Kitchen cabinets inside the bump out so I now have the full floor space of the house. which in turn gives me more space for my living space and a little bit bigger bedroom and coming from the midwest most older houses you enter into the kitchen anyway, it's the gathering place of the house and by entering into the kitchen it keeps people from trapesing through your house. I haven't built a loft yet and probally won't. I'm single and my kids are grown and married, when they visit they will just bring thier RV's.
