Many inner-city homes have converted the garage into an apartment.  It is great for a live-in nanny, the returning college student, visitors, or to use as a mother-in-law suite.  Still, some owners use them to rent out and enjoy the monthly income; here in Texas, it helps off-set the cost of annual property taxes. 

One couple in inner-loop Houston decided to convert the garage into not one, but two 3-story garage apartments.  They completely renovated the space into an income-producing duplex.  Not surprisingly, both units leased quickly - and with quiet, on-time paying tenants.  The couple then tore down the main house and built a brand new 3-story 4200 SF home with an attached 2-car garage.  How many inner-city homes have you seen that has a garage and a garage apartment?

I have a tour of both the main house and the duplex in the back.  Attached is the virtual tour of the Duplex.  Explore the YouTube Channel to watch the tour of the main house.  Please watch, like, share & subscribe.  Enjoy!
