For example, in my market, we see MF building permits way down for the last 2-3 years.

In 2024, the city instituted a CAP and for a period, now only active STR permits can transfer to a new owner.

Since the yard is already rough, I would keep the shed and see how it works out.Consider adding something to the lease that permits you to remove it from the property if it becomes problematic.

I read the permitting process and it seems somewhat strict.

The total cost including construction and permits (but excluding the land) comes to about $2.14 million.

Their permit will not be transferable when they sell though, according to the draft plan.

do you know how to read building plans or permits?

I have  3 treed lots(.3/.4/1.4 acres) in 30316 area of Atlanta,  and looking for a cost effective land clearing company once building permits are approved.

Permiting will be stricter I imagine. 

A PM knows how to get the utilities going quicker if permits are needed.
