Hi psglmg,
Without knowing more specifics, the general answer is that you wouldn't get your money back if you were to sell within a few years. It would, however, depend on cost of building and if it's finished well enough to be considered "living space." Living space would need a source of regulated heat and finished flooring. It would probably only add about $30 per square foot in value, and it would most likely cost a lot more than that to have it built. If it couldn't be considered living space, the added value would be even less than that. Probably, the only way for it to pay off in the near future is if you were able to build it well yourself from left-over or donated quality materials without it looking "home made."
