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

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).

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.

I try to put myself in his shoes and just feel terrible about the situation.

We’ve all been in your shoes at one time or another, unfortunately.

If I was in your shoe's I'd go with the multifamily.

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.

Even if I raise it from $600 to just under $1200 in the span of a month the tenants have no where to go because I will still have the cheapest rent in a 5 mile radius.Though, I don't want to be too harsh as I have been in their shoes before, I will work with them on the rent raises.  

It would be similar to a charitable gift.In a conservation easement, a real estate investor “donates” development rights on a piece of property to a qualified charity, public agency, or land conservatory.In return for the donation, they get a tax deduction as if they gave cash to a charity.Let's dive into the basics.Let's say you buy a 20-acre piece of real estate that includes a 5-acre self-storage facility.

For recent purchases: less than 3 years, you probably have to grow with them and think about how can you maximize returns: maybe ADUs, or Coin-laundry or e-pay, renting space on the property for storage, air b and b or mid term rentals, splitting the lots, Tic sales etc... or value add to increase appreciation faster!!
