There is some future Infrastructure improvements taking place, which can/cannot impact the property ROI. 

At some point in the future, the economy will have another crisis. 

I know that I am taking a huge risk by wanting to build but the existing properties are either in areas I’d never live in or too far away from the Metro Detroit area and I really want to come back to the city in the safer parts before I’m priced out in the future. 

Yes, I realize it was the first time, that is why I would cover the cost in an effort to be a good landlord and not discourage my tenants from reporting future issues.

If not, you could focus on other selling points, like the acreage or future ADU potential, but a garage would probably make the property more competitive.

With no comps in the area for new construction and the highest rehab selling for 205k, building enough at the onset, 4-6 new construction homes, may be the only way to start a neighborhood turn.The city is looking to increase density in the area and add anchor points in near the area to cater to future investment. 

With hopes to build two additional cabins in the future.

They are about to move out and I’m nervous to rent to a stranger in the future with this same policy.

And I hope that is more future readers of this post, and on BP. 

Most STR markets have seasonality, and there are untold issues in the future that will effect cashflow.
