I re-read what you wrote and am not sure if you are the boots in Indy or you want them.Ive done that for the last 7 years.......since I joined in 2018.......You gave away my secret weapon lol 

I put forth effort to keep my RE investment significantly leveraged.  

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

I wasn’t looking to add value or find something off-market because the time and effort just didn’t seem worth it compared to focusing on my career.

Strong rental demand: With major employers like the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, along with a growing arts and culture scene, Cleveland attracts a steady stream of renters.Revitalization efforts: Many areas of Cleveland are experiencing significant revitalization, which can lead to increased property values and appreciation potential.I can't comment on the Detroit market specifically, I have never been and have never done any research on it!

At a 7% cap rate= $685,000 for the same amount of effort and risk.2. 

Not worth time & effort to go to court, your first meeting with an attorney will cost you as much as the rent.

Just a few hours of preparation could have saved you many hours of effort, a lot of worry, and thousands in lost income.

Like anything else, there is effort that you have to put in. 

It takes more effort and there's more risk involved (therefor more reward), but it just depends on your goals and how you want to get there.As far as focusing on areas with high demand for travel nurses, that's just 1 tenant-type of many in a changing landscape.
