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

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.

Currently I have a house in contract in a community on hwy 114 which is 4 miles west of Texas motor speedway (zip 76247) and north of Alliance airport.

The California Community of Housing and Development aka HCD which is regulated by the state.Other states still use the Department of Motor Vehicles aka DMV or the Department of Transportation aka DOT.

If we find it is a tenant caused probable, we charge them for the cost of clean out.Depending on the price of the insurance, it may be worth it, but if you only have a few houses, the odds of not having a back up is in your favor.As an investor and future owner of many more properties, you should try your hand at doing it yourself; Rent the machine with the auger and motor on itTurn the water off to the commodeDrain it as best you canRemove the two closet bolts (when replacing, don't tighten too tight or your brake the porcine commode).Remove the wax ring--- messy, stinky -- use cloves - don't get it on your clothingLife the commode from the waste line......guaranteed you'll get water on you (hope it is not yellow)Now feed this heavy cable down the waste line as far as you can go.Push the start button on your machine and watch the cable spin as it seeks the block, oh, be careful because sometimes stuff will fly out and may  smack you in the face.If you are lucky you'll find a baby's toy, a rag or some sort of material that may be unpleasant; bag that ugly stuff for later disposal.Oh, did you buy a wax ring?

Now, 10 years late, the youngest baby boomers are turning 60 and the ones who are retirement age have been slow to leave the workforce.There will be an impact when the baby boomer generation fully retires and again when they pass away, but I don't know if that means despair for those of us remaining.With the technological changes where the very core of how we work is changing (people working remote for example and less reliance on a motor vehicle), I think it's really hard to predict doom and gloom.Yes, we will have recessions, but I doubt anything close to what compares to 2008. 

Like Mario Andretti he has a brick and motor in Napaand then you have Dave Del Dotto who was one of the very first pitchmen  get rich on real estate right along with Carlton Sheets..

The one I have now has no motor issues - a 92 Toyota Corolla.
