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.

Seems like “Vegas” attracts the less than honest hustlers   I see it in the PML HML space you see brokers with NV address's but no NV mortgage lender license those are basically fake lenders full stop .. since its illegal to be located in Vegas and lend money with no state license at least on 1 to 4 units. could be they use NV LLC for the perceived privacy that state offers kind of like WY ?

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.

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.

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?

However, I constantly see syndications advertising very attractive return.  

@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. 

Moreover, the government has made it very clear that it wants to attract foreign investment and a measure like that would be totally counter-productive and downright dangerous and negative for the country and it's the economy.
