We choose to do full clarity, separating them so clients know exactly what is for what, nothing hidden.     

My wife and I have moments where we think maybe we should just cancel this but then we get excited about the new adventure and path it could put us on if we do move forward with this.

My wife and I are also moving overseas when we retire and will add our home to the rental pool. 

@Javen Harris I was born and raised in KC (OP), moved down to Wichita about 11 years ago.

When are you moving?

How long did it take you to negotiate the lease and oversee the move-in? 

I bought 6 unit property in Wildwood,NJ,in November 2024, doing rehab now, should be done by May 2025I am planning to subdivide 6 unit building to 6 separate condos and sell fall 2026, , if there are any experts in 1031 that can help me?!

I also want to combine it to one $150k  30 year fixed loan instead of having two separate  $100k and $50k loans what options do I have can anyone help.I don't want to use my own money.

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.

Most common is moving 100 miles away from the departing residence **for work**.
