Instead of residential real estate, would a savvy investor look to commercial property, self-storage, land development, all of the above in this situation?

I and my sellers get it without any of the fat.

***The old tradition Growing up, my parents owned a decent sized but standard 4 bed, 2.5 bath, two stories with additional finished third floor for storage, ironing and home office.

BUT it does have a large attic (1800 sq ft) above the property that was an old dance hall in the early 1900's, unfortunately the township won't allow it to be turned into a fourth unit, according to the sellers.So I'm reaching out to BP to see if any one has any ideas to help increase the NOI.I've thought about turning it into laundry but 2/3 units already have laundry, another idea is for storage but there is already a large garage on property that some of the tenants use.Anyway thanks for any input in advance!

What should I do for storage if my plan is to only be here another year or so and house hack somewhere else?

The bathroom vanity is lovely and buyers need the storage.

I found a 200 unit storage facility for sale.

I suggest you first decide what you want to invest in, i.e, multi-family, self-storage, hotels, mobile home parks, retail shopping centers, office, industrial, etc., and then attend some training events in those asset classes.

If you don't want tenants next door, slowly work on fixing up the other side and use it as storage until you move out and on to the next project.

Clarification needed because resources could be educational or informational, and assets include but not limited to MFH, MHP, storage, offices, hotels, etc.
