Clean, nice, but not in the super hot/trendy areas.  

Maybe it's because the only "passive syndication" I've explored so far are the few trendy crowdfunding websites and I haven't been able to see what "good" syndicated opportunities actually mean?

I live in the Denver market, which is becoming as hot as some coastal properties and very trendy.  

Pretty good advice from @Laura AllenI personally like click laminate and have it in my current project, but would opt for the tile.The trend is quartz, but probably won't make that much of a difference in sellability.If the windows for comps are a mixed bag, then I would definitely try to sell without changing them to stay on budget.

Why wouldn't the investor just hire a foreclosure trustee licensed as a collector in that state or, hire a law firm licensed as a collector in that state instead of trying to get tricky and sneaker by hiring a mortgage broker to act as a collector, to perform a foreclosure action (Which must be ratified by the court anyway!?)

The trend is to open retail and offices where there is lots of traffic like malls. 

In the Orlando area the market has appreciated tremendously... around 10% last year and I believe the trend is heading that direction.

So, it's not a trendy, up & coming neighborhood.

Mold addendum are getting trendy.

BUT the other factors more than cancel this out.foreclosures, downsizing homes, more divorce etc during recessions actually creates NET more demand.. you will have some saying i cant afford my storage unit and leaving, but you have MORE move ins from dislocation etc.DENSITYthis plays on the trend of smaller units. in order to get more affordable rents, developers are producing smaller unit sizes.. thus where the hell you gonna put your mountain bike or kayak, or all the millenial faux outdoorsy crap.. all the millenials 25 green sweaters during the summer.the trend is smaller units, less cluttered, and these urban storage units fit the bill well. so more density and smaller homes, will create more demand to store stuff from regular renters, than there used to be.Another factor is in general, storage is more acceptable. the newer urban developments are safer, well lit, hell sometimes they have coffee shops below them and restaurants.. so they have become a bigger part of peoples lives.they are more accepted. hell, when my wife suggest a few years back we should get a unit, i knew the tipping point had been reached. its become more "normal" for people to have storage unit.If you look at the data, self storage weathered the great recession better than most any assets, MHP included which was #2. that is why financing has become much better on SS, and to the point BETTER than MHP for sure. 90% LTV!!!
