Buy and Hold: SFH no garage. Put up storage shed?
I am interested in purchasing a 3/1 in a pretty decent neighborhood. All the numbers make sense and I am ready to pull the trigger on the deal.
The only negative about the property I see is there is no garage. There is a long driveway that leads to a parking pad behind the house. Even without the pad, the driveway could easily fit 4 regular sized vehicles and there is plenty of street parking.
Since the future tenant will be responsible for law care, I was thinking about putting in a small storage shed (like this) on the parking pad. Since there would already be a concert floor, it should be pretty easy and cost effective.
Does this seem worth the hassle? From the tenant's perspective, I think it would be a nice additional feature. Without the storage shed, I have no idea where they would keep a mower so they would probably have to hire it out.
The only downside is that it takes away some of the parking space, but I think there is still plenty.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
