Congrats on this major change! I'm an out-of-state investor that invests in Columbus so even though I'm not on the ground in Columbus, I've built some solid connections and team members if you ever wanted to sync.

I second "Helen Nilsson with Roost Real Estate", I've used them with my properties and they are great to work with

First Tech! They can do 90% LTV

@Glenn Pena We don't have an operator per say but our road map is to have a virtual assistant that acts as our manager. They would run our guest relations and manage our cleaning / handyman crew when requests come through. Most of the house we have used technology to automate our processes which allows us to out source our entire system.

@John Teachout I've seen "adult family home" be used in a lot of different contexts but the most common is for senior citizens. 

@Scott S. around this area, going rates for a room are between $850-$1200 depending on the location / amenities provided

@Shane Plummer I'm usually giving a %6-%10 return depending on how much money someone is willing to provide along with if I'm able to not make payments until the very end of the term  

I would suggest studying everything there is to know about self storage and how to optimize revenue (through podcasts, books, articles online). Every self storage facility is going to be different since the location will require a different strategy but once you can understand what can bring in more revenue you can create a list of all the different avenues a self storage facility can bring in revenue. 

Then I would poke around and start finding people that own facilities and try to find holes in their operation or an opportunity that they might have missed. Once you can identify an opportunity for them to generate more revenue then you are of value to them and it could potentially lead to networking with more people from their circle / could spark a potential mentorship.  

Hey @Scott Christopher,

Not sure if you are still in need of one but if you download the app NextDoor, you can type in key words such as handyman and people that live nearby usually have some great recommendations 

Hey @Jackson Poscablo!

Since your fridge is still pretty new is there any warranty from the company you bought it?

I looked on nextDoor around that area and someone recommended: https://m.yelp.com/biz/a-1-acc...

Someone also mentioned a guy named Mark Wiseman, I have his number but not gonna put it on this post to protect his privacy. Feel free to message me and I can send it your way.

Also I have a house hack in the SeaTac area and have had plenty of other problems that has allowed me to build a list of great contacts. More than happy to connect and share them with you.

What do you mean by "save HOA restrictions"?
