So, I floated the idea here on BiggerPockets to see what more experienced folks would have to say about it.

Evaluating a self-storage opportunity and would love folks' input on a few questions that I have, below.

U invest in the fund and there is no debt ahead of you you own the debt free and clear the only risk is they buy the wrong debt and the underlying collateral does not support the investment.. which is why you go with folks that have a lot of experience in the space and now how to value the collateral.

Obviously, it is hard to find that person in any particular market but folks are out here.  

Hey Folks!

@Elizabeth LebI would like to hear what folks would invest 20k in if you already have reserves?

If one is a lifer then I like the BTR but if one is going to exit in less than a decade I think the exit might not be what folks were counting on.

After 20 years in the investing game, plus working as an investor-friendly agent, I’ve learned that hesitation can feel like a big hurdle but often ends up being the push you need once you break through it.I’m personally based in San Diego, California, and licensed here, but I’ve also looked into projects across the country with folks who sought better cash flow.

other than the constant warnings and warning posts I dont think you can expect BP to be the gate keeper for Guru class's  keep in mind some folks do succeed and the cost of a guru package to them was one of the best things they ever did. 

Would love to meet like minded folks in SWFL.
