@Shawn NofzigerHi Shawn,I came across your post and while I am a long way from Lansing, I work with a ton of new and aspiring investors and the challenges they have getting from idea to action. 

You have no idea if this is a good price and no one else does.

Bought a 5 plex in 2022 insurance was $1500/year (which was low).  Guard is not renewing the policy.  My best quote is at 17,000/year! Property is worth around 1.2 to rebuild.  Location is Fairplay Colorado.  LTR tent...

It was a little wild, but it proved something: if the numbers make sense, investors show up.Now, you’re in London, which has its own flavor, but the core idea isn’t too different.

I’ve been listening to audio books to get some ideas and every single one recommends getting on bigger pockets.

Hi Steve, the self storage space has always intrigued me but I have no idea where to even start. 

Any debt that can help in an emergency is a good idea.

I recently came across the idea of a "Resident Success Coordinator" role, and I think it makes a huge difference!

Love the idea of helping out a first time buyer, may run into trouble if she's not the primary resident, check w/ lender but I don't think that'll fly w/o more of a down payment.
