For those interested in an update; I just got the inspection report - big ticket items:- 30 year old roof, no leaks, but needs replacement soon- deck off the back is small, but needs repalcement- 1-2 cracked windows; I figure best to just replace all- remove & replace hot water heaterThere are other minor upgrades like replacing GFCI outlets, replace the garage door motor, and caulking some minor screw holes in the siding.

When I first moved here and heard it on the radio, I asked myself why his he talking about the Division of Motor Vehicles, lol and then I figured it out.

Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary.

The engineer came out, listened to the sputtering motor for a while, grabbed a hammer off a shelf, and hit the engine casing.

Best to contact Motor Vehicles for specifics. 

This is my understanding of how this all works.When you get an umbrella policy, the pricing is based on your exposure so they will ask you how many cars, boats, rent properties, motor cycles, etc you have.

I have owned SS  and it has its own set of challenges its not all wine and Roses LOL.My banker is of the opinion that when you hit a downturn SS is one of the first things to get hit.IE someone paying 100 to 150 bucks a month to store their junk just stops paying.and vacancy starts to out strip cash flow and the properties go underwater.what did with mine and it was a unique property being right across the st from 1000 floating homes on the Columbia river or should i say within 2 miles of all those.I put a condo plat on mine and went about sell each storage condo to those floating home folks so they could add value to their floating home.. this worked out well.I also like it when you have the bigger ones kind of like airplane hangers and you sell to the ultra motor coach crowd or those that like to wrench on their collection of cars.. end of he day people need a place to live  storage is a luxury.. but this is hardly a new concept or business its well established.. and your write the herd has put up thousands of units in our area 3 to 4 story buildings and every one of them has move in specials.
