Wholesaler turned me on to it and his contract lapsed due to difficulty of working with the seller.

Those are two very different strategies, with different levels of difficulty.

I've recently been turned on to the space after having difficulties finding multifamily properties that will cash flow in my area (to @Paul Moore point about the market being overheated).How did you go about finding and evaluating storage opportunities?

Poor Ann and I were having great difficulty communicating with each other.

I would just stay away from deals valued at less than $130k, as you will have difficulty finding financing, as many lenders have a $100k minimum loan amount.

I terminated the deal because the Seller had been so difficult I did not feel secure in paying the upfront prior to closing expenses.

At the same time, I am setting up a living trust for estate planning so that this property can be passed on to my hiers without any difficulty.

AND try to find a market where you do not have to compete as much with 2nd home demand - a place where people go to vacation but is not top of mind for a rich guy's vacation home destination (ski town, lake house, etc.).If you are asking for the secret market that returns 20% cash on cash without any renovation or difficulty, that doesn't exist.
