If the police entered a residence with a warrant, is that just for the home or all buildings on the property?
It stated single family dwelling w/attached garage. If the garage is detached and they enter it is there any legal benefits to the people residing there for them entering it?

When the police execute a search warrant, they can search the house and other buildings on the property. It is irrelevant whether the garage was attached or detached. Therefore, the people in the garage would not have any claim that the search of the garage was illegal.
