We wanted additional units to pay mortgage and have cash flow.

If you have a loan, then you will have to get a new loan to buyout and ensure the other party is not on the loan.

Additionally, most of the costs to make an asset ready for it's intended business use are capitalized and part of the cost of the asset. 

.- Value add - How much does it cost to build additional storage units?

In addition to that, platforms like HomeAdvisor or Angi are great for finding vetted professionals, and local builders associations or the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce may have directories or recommendations. 

Property manager (PM) 's lawyer continued the case to get the unpaid rent from the tenant.PMA between landlord and property manager(PM) has also expired so landlord got the property back , but when landlord requested to settle the account and the deposit( there is one month deposit from landlord also), PM refuses since the lawsuit is going on with the tenant, Additionally PM is still charging the monthly property management fees from landlord even though landlord is managing the property.Landlord is done dealing with PM and requested the PM to withdraw the lawsuit against the tenant ( landlord is aware that he will loose 2 months rent), PM came back saying they cannot withdraw the lawsuit since that will violate fair housing law.QUESTION:Does withdrawing unpaid rent case against the tenant violate fair housing law ?

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Devin James: In 2021, we saw buyers upgrading to larger homes, taking advantage of 3% interest rates to afford an extra 300+ square feet.Today, smaller homes are selling much faster as higher rates make additional square footage less affordable.While rates are historically average, I don’t see them dropping significantly.

I use all of them:-Brokers-Platforms like LoopNet, Crexi (my favorite), and BiggerPockets Deal Finder-additionally, brokers often have access to off-market opportunitiesWhen dealing with brokers, I've found that you have to build a relationship in order to get a good deal flow.

Feel free to message me if you have additional questions.  

However, I definitely recommend pictures any time a guest left damage or extra cleaning that will result in additional charges.
