Simple Truths.But you can make a ton of money, if you do it correctly.Why doesn't McDonalds sell T-bone steaks?

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area. 

I've got a property to sell that's sub 200k and rents for $1500. 

In Atlanta, Georgia - unless you get caught doing something illegal, it's considered 'grandfathered in' and won't be a problem when buying or selling.

I'd recommend you sell the place and put your money in a good mutual fund.

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

The risk that the borrower can default, the risk that you will have to foreclose, the risk that you will have to take over payments on the 1st TD if you are in 2nd position, the risk that you have to invest $$ into the property to sell it... 

Any way to capitalize on this garage outside of just attracting higher rents once I move out and/or higher sales price if I decide to sell?

The return on equity is probably very low considering they are paid off so maybe explore refinancing or selling the lowest performing one(s) or your biggest headaches to reinvest in more lucrative deals.I noticed you also used a metric of number of rentals to attain your goal rather than $$$/month.
