Hopefully the garden state will lead to a lot of "green" for you.

The tenants pay for all utilities and apparently are great about paying rent and also do all maintenance (lawn, garden, snow, etc) which makes me feel better about being an hour and a half away but I know a PM isn't out of the question.When I asked, the owner said he would be open to owner financing with a good down payment.

Karen, hi, thing is, here and probably everywhere, many people have hot tubs, garden tubs in or outside on a deck of a small home, 2bdr, 1 bth. they are very common.

@dailin fajardo have looked into the markets closer to you in Hialeah or Miami Gardens ??

The property I most recently purchased someone used radiator clamps and garden hoses to move the washing machine 10+ feet away from the water hookups.

My hobbies are woodworking, antique tool restoration, gardening, financial literacy education, volunteer work through my church congregation.  

House is located in Westland, a city about 20 min west of Detroit, in the Livonia, Redford, Garden City, Redford, Canton area

•Brand new central HVAC•Brand new, upgraded electrical panel•All appliances less than 5 years old•TWO 40-gallon water heaters, less than 3 years old – enormous supply of hot water•Multiple rooms•Large brick fireplace and separate wood stove•Permanently installed ventilation/dehumidification system in full finished basement•Huge, 3-room paved shed, plus additional garden shed

That building is really nice, has a pool and an amazing roof garden.

After the ADU was built I was able to refi and pull out 80% with a traditional loan and another 10% with a HELOC , and was able to pull out everything except the original down payment (60K) but it was well worth it because of the tremendous cash flow I have on the property.The main house rents for $3700/Month the ADU sections are renting at $1,800 per unit  including utilities(there are 3) so the property is grossing $9,100. total utilities, water , gas & gardener expenses are $400  per month (I have Solar on the property , so no electrical bill).
