How important is garage in Midwest rental market?

[Geoffrey Tanudjaja]

Hi BP Community?

I am currently looking at a potential duplex in Detroit. The property that I'm interested in is fully renovated, however, it doesn't have any detached garage. Although, there is a space to build a small garage in the future if I needed one. How important it is to have a detached garage for rental properties in Detroit?

I read through BP forums and the majority mentioned that the detached garage is mostly used as extra storage space. If that is the case, this property does have a very spacious space for storage in the basement. I also checked through the houses around the property. Some have it and some don't. So, I don't know how important it is.

All opinions are welcomed!

Cheers,
