There is a great market for them in the city where there are a lot of young professionals who want an upscale home but none of the maintenance. I work in finance, have owned another home before (still have it, actually) and did more than enough research to assure it was a good investment. The one directly behind ours sold for 5% over what we paid 1 year after we bought ours. Probably going to sell and move next summer and I have no worries.
Anyway, I work over in the area you're looking and I can't think of much. I can think of apartments but they don't have garages. Most of the homes are going to be very large and not a lot of rental properties. If you look in Smyrna to the west of I-75 there should be a decent amount of choices. But that may be further out than you want. Actually, I think one of the Post Properties in the area has attached garages. It may be Post Spring. But, it won't be cheap and I know you don't really seem to want an apartment. There are definitely some other complexes in the area closer to Cumberland that offer detached garages.
Good luck!
