I do remodeling work, so everything is well done, but I'm nervous the refinance could get denied because of the changed space.

You'll typically see them partnered with traditional Self Storage - meaning those Facilities offering Storage Units for folks to store their household treasures AND on-site parking spaces for Boats, RV's, company trucks, etc. 

Hi @Laura Yazdi - I’m certainly a tax strategist in this space (CA-based CPA).

If I sniff out that someone is here to take advantage of the pool of new investors that find themselves sharing our space daily I go out of my way to spoil the commercial part of it for them. 

Lower income means less affordable space.

I spent the past month reaching out to 300 former note investors and less than 10% are still in the game because they found it too difficult and not worth the time of effort.Throw on that the NPL space is a $300B industry as well and there is plenty to go around

Per the link below, I'm seeing that in a "sleeping space" that the ceilings are permitted to be 7' (or less, for a bathroom):https://www.map-strategies.com...However, the chicago code says the height should be 7' 6":https://chicagocode.org/13-64-....So which is it?

.- Cedar Hill: Offers affordability and a suburban feel with plenty of parks and green spaces.- Grand Prairie: Centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, it has a diverse economy and growing population.- Arlington: A bit further out, but it's a vibrant city with strong rental demand due to its large student population and attractions.- Plano: A bit more expensive but offers excellent schools and a strong job market. 2.

I like real estate so I intend to stay in the space.

Been studying the STR space for a couple years.
