Many investors have had to get creative by emphasizing other property perks, like pools, proximity to local attractions, or unique experiences, to offset any beach access challenges. 

MTR attracts a lot of traveling medical professionals and WFH individuals who need a quiet space during the day, which may not be compatible with families living in the attached LTR.

Are you attractive tenants that meet your screening criteria readily and keeping them as long as you budget for (vacancy rate)?

@Jack Cottrell You Vacancy & Maintenance percentage are aggressive and may only work for a Class A rental/tenant.If the is a Class B or C rental that will attract Class B or C tenants, you should strongly consider increasing those percentages.NOTE: we deal with a LOT of Class B & C rentals, so we replace "Vacancy" with "Vacancy/Tenant Nonperformance".

Understanding your market, what you are offering, and the kind of tenant you can expect to attract and KEEP will help you determine how to screen.

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

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?

As a resident (who travels a lot) I would say the Midwest does not have the attractions like palm trees & beaches (the great lakes are cold) or amazing mountain ranges, which often come with some disadvantages like high cost of living or hut/humid weather, stroms etc. 

The property has an amazing creek canyon (attached photo) is 5 miles from all the major attractions to Yosemite, and 7 miles from a lake.

Homes with that price range will attract bad renters.
