It's an A-framed garage with shingles roof, gutters, windows, and a 32" exterior door (in addition to a 16' operating face door). 

They are paying for some repairs now after I've had several issues and a brand new tenant moved out, but I'm still paying a mortgage without any rent coming in during those months. 

I work almost exclusively with investors and a lot of times, out-of-state investors.

Here's the breakdown of rental income and expense analysis:1.Annual Gross Income: $25,800 (Monthly rent of $2,150 x 12)2.Annual Expenses: $25,800 * 0.40 = $10,3203.Annual NOI: $25,800 - $10,320 = $15,4804.Annual Debt Service: $10,680 (Calculated previously using a mortgage calculator with a loan of $131,775, 7.25% interest, and a 30-year term)5.DSCR: $15,480 / $10,680 = 1.45 (approximately)

Increasing job growth and a strong economy brings an ideal investment in these markets.

Purchasing a STR in a somewhat sketch area is a terrible idea and as others have mentioned, is going to open you up to potential issues. 

That would make is more special and a no brainer IMHO.

For a sample, consider a $295,000 project with a down payment of 5% and a mortgage payment of 7% interest.Good luck!
