Id try to market to existing operators of mini storage in the area.

This policy will provide additional coverage above what your existing policy covers.

It sounds like from your post that there may be an existing garage there currently, but the original surveyer screwed up. 

No experience with it, but I know there are franchises like Motto Mortgage, that provide mortgage in a box essentially, or check bizbuysell and see if there is an existing firm available for sale.

Orcutt one sale - sold for $4000 more than similar square foot sfr, The Groves and Vista Del Sol no SFR sales with an ADU exist in past 90 days.  

If there is an existing mortgage in your name it should be disclosed that your name will stay on the loan for possibly a very long time. 

Understand that at least three SD 401(k) plan sources exist.1) Many firms that offer SD IRAs also offer SD 401(k)s.

While MOST people with pension plan investing who want the higher yields of private/hard money loans would either (1) purchase existing notes from note brokers or (2) participate in partial notes via brokers or (3) invest in sponsors high yield note funds there are some do it yourselfers who choose to invest in loans independently.  

What I have heard is the following:1) Banks willing to extend loans with the existing owner, hoping they can hold on until NOI goes up or interest rates come down2) Banks knowing a property is coming back so reaching out to a local broker to find a buyer with a pocket listing. 

I just put one property on escrow which was also in a very bad shape - strong smell with cat urine and I had to replace all drywall and existing flooring.As I am waiting for my escrow to be closed, this came into my attention.
