Most developers would just utilize the extra yard space for outdoor storage.

Deputies gave her social service number to get a room and storage somewhere. 

You could even add an island or bump out peninsula for more sitting and storage. 

rather than a rational decision (it's got an extra storage or a washer/dryer).

I agreed to take out an under ground storage tank in exchange for a lower price.

Do I need to find one that specializes in what I am looking for...like self storage or warehouses or old building conversions? 

One LLC holds a self-storage facility, one has my property management business, one has residential rentals, and one has commercial rentals.

Key differentiators include storage space (attic or large closets), EV charging, and accessible backyards (not just an entry from the bedroom).3) Liya Mo - BTR REITS are trading at a premium to MultiFamily REITS, largely due to more exit strategies.

So you're not really comparing apples to apples here.Also, most likely the syndication/crowdfunding deal you are comparing to is a completely different real-estate asset class than single family (i.e. probably multi-family,office, self storage,mobile home parks or something else).

I just turned 55 and have 33 rentals and 135 storage units.You may be better off buying as many properties as possible for the next 5-10 years, then paying them off, starting with the smallest mortgage and working up to your largest.
