Just like in Southern Italy, where houses are sold for as little as one euro, similar initiatives exist in Spain to attract people to repopulate villages and revitalize these areas." the one part I'd disagree with is "many".So why was I shocked then?

If let it get outdated and go into disrepair, well, that will dictate the clientele we can attract right. 

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?

Investing in real estate through a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) has limitations, but compelling benefits still attract investors.

@Nadia Jones Starting and running a fund is a separate business because it's something that you need to actively market for and regularly work on attracting capital to invest in. 

From what I've seen, Jacksonville has attractive housing prices and rental rates.

They usually sell for a really attractive price because investment property financing is (obviously) difficult, somewhat limiting the buyer pool to owner-operator small business owners (who in turn are typically great clients, as well).  

The best way to solve this situation now would be by ensuring you've presented the units in the most attractive way possible.

While the property is in a smaller town, it’s relatively close to a larger city, which I think adds a lot of potential for attracting both short-term guests and long-term tenants.The motel has fewer than 16 rooms, and the nightly rates are extremely competitive for the area.

Anyone serious about selling their house will be instantly attracted tho this website because it is different than all the standard sites out there, it has personality, and character and it looks amazing.
