I didn't earn, chose, or deserve the life given to me, and it would be unethical of me to not do my very best to make a positive impact on this planet every day so that a higher percentage of the future population can live a life of equal or great abundance than my own in the future. 

I base my bold statement about Self-Storage on my personal success in that niche (recently turned 40K investment into 60K per year in positive cashflow and increased equity in the property from the 40K I invested to $500K in just 18 months.....hence the bias:) but also on some key statistics. 1) Self Storage REITS were the top performing REITS for 2011 with returns of 35.22 and second for 2012 (to the Timber REIT) coming in at 19.942) Self-Storage Backed Loans default less than any other real estate backed loan on the PLANET (including owner occupied homes).....less than 8% default rate says something about the health of an industry.3) Income to Expense Ratios hover around 33% in Self Storage compared to 50+% for apartments/offices, etc.At the very least, I would encourage you to take a look at this niche!

It's Greener, it's more economical, it promotes diversity.

But the promise of greener pastures is always so tempting that you forget to realize what you have.

This area is greener and prettier in Weehawken compared to Union City and, well, it belongs to a trendier zip code.From an investor perspective, Weehawken is not particularly more 'investor-friendly' then Union City, nor it is booming with new construction.

Perhaps a similar set up would work with your new tenant. then when he comes back to planet earth, tell him that washers and dryers are provided as a courtesy on a first come, first served basis.

I think the path towards a greener future is best for all of us. 2.

If none of them want it, I can get a listing agreement and have it across the planet in 3 hours.  

Instead, people are making the argument that it's okay to be unintelligent and be the most powerful person on the planet.

There isn't a lender on the planet that wants to hear you are going to be using their funds to buy the property on the a side.
