The most common problem is too small despite being advertised as oversized double. It's a deal breaker to have to move out one vehicle to get in/out of the second because the overall width is too narrow. Length is also a consideration with trucks or full size SUV's.

If you were to put up a 24'x24' garage with a 18'x8' door it would absolutely be a differentiator compared to other properties. The last garage I built was a 26'x28' with a 8' door. You can comfortably get in & out of each vehicle and still have ample room for work/storage space. The tall door is also fantastic for accommodating roof racks and boxes.

Personally I'd never consider leaving my vehicles out in the elements full time if I could help it - why expose them to snow, hail, UV rays, and CAT thieves?

That’s the thing to we could move but sometimes older houses the garages are super small and decrepit. My parents built a two storey house and didn’t think about making the garage bigger … it was 20x20

I actually really like vehicles and want to take care of them the best I can. I hate having to park outside and don’t see a point of owning a nicer vehicle until I have a garage.
