the value added versus cost to add, especially in single family zoned areas, typically results in a large negative initial position.  

@Kerry Baird Love hearing about others taking advantage of cost segregation studies.

Ofcourse my mistakes would cost me if done all my self as well.So i am thinking that by going through paid consulting, it saves me from mistakes and time.

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

Pictures, pictures, pictures, especially in morning light.Indoor staging needn't be costly.

From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action. 

If you've dealt with this how much did it cost and how much time did it take to resolve it?

...And what the buy-in cost is?

What happens if you buy the SFH and hate renting it by the room but the cost to maintain is too much by yourself.

This allowed me to control renovation costs, streamline operations, and accelerate my investment growth.
