Having parents that were in the very first years of the boomer generation my examples of what earning money meant was not unique.

What is unique about working with shipping containers is that they are units.

@Ryan PRiceI penciled this out once where there was a unique large garage structure on and existing SFH. 

Your business model is not unique and given the fact that you are a recent graduate I doubt you have much capital.The arbitrage between yearly rentals and weekly/daily rentals provides some upside, but the profits margin is slim and you are going to need to find buildings that allow short term rentals.

I'm actually in a unique situation though where I'm kind of my boss so I have a lot of flexibility with my own schedule and I know most people probably don't have that.

It sounds like a fairly unique property so it might be hard to get an accurate ARV, but still, you need to narrow it down a lot more.If you're hellbent on going for it.

I did see it work out in one unique situation with a tenant my parents had.

In fact I just closed on a recent flip.However, this market has been so hot for so long I find it hard to get good deals at the right price.I believe Detroit presents a unique opportunity, where this market is starting to rise.

Was asking beyond that  It doesn't extend beyond that, unless something unique was written into the lease.

I believe I could get that same number of units either way.My question is this: would recover more value going through this process with the city before selling the one or both lots after division?
