Does anyone know of any lenders that will look at an equity loan / line of credit on a personal storage garage?

I would make arrangements to get his belongings out of the property and either in storage or returned to him some how.

I would be living in one unit, so renting out the other 3 plus parking and storage would come to about $90,600 gross annual income.

There are low end areas that offer easier price points, and high end, single family and large mult-family, commercial, storage, universities ... 

For example, if you want the pros of multifamily but want absolute minimum management fees then you might look into a small self-storage space instead.

I want to make sure the seller feels protected but also don't really want to move stuff into storage and then have to move it again after closing.

Self Storage is a phenomenal industry. 

This does require a piece of hardware (USB Drive type device) but if you are looking for something they can set up in a couple of minutes then I would go with the Google Voice number.

But should you get interested in CREI such as multifamily or self-storage, the game rules become much more favorable, since lenders look at the asset and it’s performance, the syndicator’s funding power and partner quality to increase NOI rather than looking at the individual capital investors.
