Where the owner doesn't have enough storage space, so it won't be short-term parking. 

The build to rent phase plus storage will most likely be its own entity with a capital raise.

I can go on campus, my $100 storage unit, a coffee shop, etc.   

Oil heating costs are outrageous and you also have to deal with leaking tanks which can be a nightmare.

Jetting the plumbing every 1-2 years isn’t ideal, but it’s manageable for a tenant and shouldn’t tank your rental income.

It had a mobile home park component, self storage, commercial and industrial tenants but it was interesting figuring out how all the numbers worked together.

We are also looking at storage units,  I realize this wouldn't be a NNN but what's your thought on this type of property investment.

We're crunching numbers and planning to make purchases this year in the self-storage space.

I recently came across 1 acre asking for 314k in a very good residential and growing location, so the current owner has added 4 manufactured homes with 4 electrical meters, 4 septic tanks and only 1 water meter for all 4 homes, the homes are sitting on partial slab and partial pier & beam, he also added 2 storage sheds approx. 380sqft with the intention to make them ADUs they are still only the shell so I would have to get those ready to live in, so currently the 4 manufactured homes are being rented and bringing in 2800k a month, 3 of the homes are needing some TLC which could increment rents and possibly get me at 3600k a month, also being a 1ac lot this still leaves about 12,000sqft of raw land where you could build etc.So that is on the good side now the things I did not like so much, the lay out is poorly executed to where it makes it looked crammed up and not professional but it could be fixed.Another is that in reality there is only 4 livable units so that qualifies under a conventional loan but since they're are 6 units on the property the banks are wanting to take it as a commercial so we would have to move out the 2 storage sheds out in order to close as conventional.Another concern, technically you are only allowed to have one manufactured house or single wide in your property according to what I know but I know it could change according to zoning which I will investigate, so my question is has all this been accounted for and if so how can I verify it so it wont leave me in a bind further down the road, I currently asked my agent for the appraisal of the property to see if that might verify.Any recommendations?

I also diversify into alternative real estate, like self-storage, to stay ahead of emerging trends.I’ve learned valuable lessons over the years, particularly the importance of clear communication and aligning expectations in partnerships.
