I am thinking about getting rid of the bathtub and leaving just a shower to open up the space a bit, maybe add some storage and make it more visually appealing.

We are leaning towards a rental property for many reasons, but would like to learn where some of you successful people started and if you were in similar shoes as ours.Nice meeting you, thank you in advance.

I currently have 12 units (6 residential apartments & 6 garage storage units).

Both have their own driveways with off street parking, fenced in back and side yards, Central AC, W/D hookups, extra storage, all fixed up.

Put yourself in the shoes of being your future client.

Put yourself in the sellers shoes look at your offer and think, how easy is this offer going to be for me.

Mine has been MFU 5+ near schools and looking for applicants with children, no pets.Current marketing PLUS is single car lockable garages - - rare and save tenants cost of storage spaces.

 Hello Peter , One can find any amount of books on how to build from the ground up on new self storage facilities.

That could include rental property or flips or storage units possibly also.  

If I were in your shoes, I would roll over the 401k and Roth money to a self-directed 401k or IRA, which I would then invest in real estate.
