So we went into the commercial space and pivoted to self-storage.

Trying to get her into Self Storage so I can be the paid Guru and get a free lunch from her. 

Let the tenants use curtains that are cheap and easy, plus it allows them to determine the color/decor.Tear out the sink and replace with a vanity that has more storage and an updated look.Unless this is a B or better property, I would probably leave the current mirror/vanity.

Also, especially in Near North, everyone we've had apply for the place loves that we are upfront/transparent and include parking and storage in our rental price since so many developers and larger buildings near us market the unit at one price and then when they find out it's another $300+/month for parking it's out of their budget. 

I’ve done a few houses now and want to do a large multi family syndication or medium storage complex.  

I would tell you to get really, really smart on self-storage, mobile home parks, or something that can be run by a low-skilled employee and pretty hands-off. 

If you are doing 4 people, remember to add extra storage in the kitchen and to have at least 2 if not 3 prep areas (eg island and two places on the main counter) and a larger fridge.

If there's local boom in industry we should see the effect in immediateterm not in short tem, so what really happened in 2020-2022 is really big mistake by Fed.Also it seems very natural that in the next ten years we see lot of consolidation in the big business, much less small biz owner, and everything is owned by the conglomeration of some very powerful big names that generates cash from their operation.America is going to be more controlled by big company regardless who is in power in the goverment.So some folks are selling SFHs now in large masses to transfer into t-bills in the short period(4-8 week duration) then enter 2024 with funds to come into CRE to convert into storage, MFH(with better terms), and I think some other plays.

Analyzing doing a new Storage location development.

For it to be considered a legal (4th) bedroom it must be 70 sq ft/ have fire escape so im thinking it would be better to list it on the lease as office/storage space.
