Feel free to reach out if you need a brain to pick.

Would a cash-out refinance to free up equity and keep growing be a smart move, or should I focus on paying down my existing debts?

It's not good to burn bridges in this business, and we agents do a lot of free work that we never get paid for.

Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

This will allow you to mitigate risk on the first property but also allow you to do a cash out refi on the second, so now you have access to tax free cash that you can do with whatever you please.

Feel free to private message me with any additional questions.

Free events or groups are preferred, as I feel the connections made are more genuine, but I am open to anything. 

If your manager is just 'keeping an eye' on things, collecting/reminding on a few rents here and there and some light cleanup while being compensated in free or reduced space rent then classifying them as 1099 subcontractor is great. 

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

so are you doing this work for the seller for FREE.. ???
