The last update I received was that home completion dates were pushed back to December 2022. 

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

Wait for her to bring it up.Don’t focus only on sacrifices and future payoffs.Highlight near-term benefits, not just “someday we’ll be rich.”Don’t force or bribe her to attend meetups.Invite her but dont push itDon’t try to teach them to analyze deals.Focus on what excites themFYI I had to deploy before my wife got on board.

The only other option that comes to mind is to make the improvements and try to achieve favorable rental rates to push the story that 2 BR homes rent for a premium because its unique.

If the property was already listed on the MLS, I'd push back on the price relative to the comps.

You said that hopefully this will push the industry in a positive light.

Plug it in through bankrates calculators and run it compared to the amortized mortgage ******** that bankers blindly push on people because that is what they have been trained to do.

@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.

Kind of hard to tell them to match or I go to the other bank when they are getting messages from the seller and escrow daily that we need to close ASAP.I can't actually push it off for too long since I don't know when the second bank will close and we removed contingencies a month ago.Signed with the first lender and had to swallow the points.Learned some interesting lessons along the way.

Maybe it isn't worth it, but you should consider the numbers and decide...that could push you towards purchasing another rental. - You mentioned paying down/off a rental and needing to consider the tax implication.
