Seems sketchy on the wholesaler if anyone in this deal. 

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

Inventory seems low, and I am trying to househack my first unit.

This just seems like it puts me in a potential bad situation if something goes wrong during the process.  

.• DSTs: Seems as though returns are rather low, low transparency on opportunities (?)

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.

This seems like the most active Portugal string.

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.  

They seem to be electronic brokers that will shop for insurance in a pool of carriers.

It would seem having a set of plans would be very important for many reasons, like emergency plumbing or electrical, etc."
