Hi Deirdre, I think you need to take both into consideration. 

I would be managing myself and...I just have A lot to think about.

I think you will definitely want to talk to your lawyer because there may be items linked to this transaction you are not considering. 

This made it much easier for them in terms of moving as they didn’t have to be rushed.So I don’t “advertise” any incentives, but I do what I think is reasonable if I think they will be good tenants. 

Hey Lee - I think the midwest is a great place to look into.

@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.

Think Good Deals Are Hard to Find?

I think this will be super helpful! 

I think all of your suggestions are great possible ideas to do this deal! 

It's great to have you with us.. do you think you'll focus more on fix-and-flips or buy-and-holds?
