Basement's, do you like them? SE Michigan

Reason I ask is that in my market, most homes are on slabs.  If the property has a garage, rent roll is not affected much compared to the homes with basements.  

I find myself like the idea of not having to deal with a basement and all the potential issues that come with them. These are 850-1000/month SFR.

I'm sure it's market dependent but in SE Michigan I am not seeing the advantage.
