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

When are you moving?

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?!

@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.

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.

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

So you hurt her feelings and she moves out.

I would upgrade properties every 12-15 months as allowed by low down payment loans if my significant other wasn’t risk adverse and opposed to moving.

Look for multis with separate entrances in different areas like one door in front for one unit and a door on the side or back for another.

Regardless of how a certain asset class is doing, an investor like yourself can ALWAYS find a good deal in any type of property.Now, my general suggestion for all of my CFO clients is the gradually move up the unit spectrum/asset type as you build up your portfolio.
