My first action would be to go to VRBO and look at various areas of the state - the national and state parks, etc.

As a general development rule, floodplains make good amenity areas so maybe you could sell it to the city or neighboring HOA looking for parking and pickleball courts or similar, or look through the allowed uses in a floodplain per the COSA regulations and see if anything sparks for you.

I wanted to try something close to the park with exceptional views to stand out. 

If its in the city where off street parking is a huge perk and it has a legal curb cut then I would keep the garage in most cases. 

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Maryland has more than Virginia, but most of them are in Takoma Park, which has very restrictive rent control.

I explained that this type of routine maintenance issue is not damage and is not our responsibility, but I can see that I will need help ensuring that she as the landlord is instead held responsible.

I sit in the parking lot of grocery stores and fast foods and look at the clientele.
