Or maybe you finally want to purchase a multi-family complex / self-storage facility / car wash, etc.

I helped a client get a combo car wash- self storage property a few months ago here in DFW.

I don’t want to house hack as if I did that I would have additional expense for storages.

Send a notice: The landlord can post a notice in a visible place and send a notice by mail to the tenant's last known addressRemove belongings: The landlord can remove the tenant's belongings and store themRecover costs: The landlord can recover the costs of moving and storage from the tenantSell belongings: If the tenant doesn't claim their belongings, the landlord can sell them at a public sale(End)Please only communicate with the tenants - all of them - in written form only so it can be used in any collection/court engagement. 

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

Up until then I was cheerleading the earlier thought experiments about supporting lean/regular/fat income with ~$1000 / month per paid off SFH, thinking “I could bang that out in 5 years”.

You say things like "It was understood that I would continue to utilize the garage and one room for storage as I transitioned to living out of state."

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

Other ways of using SDIRAs could be to invest in syndications, performing  or non-performing debt, precious metals, raw land, precious metals, mobile home parks, self-storage facilities and more. 

I'm working on another private loan now on a self-storage opportunity partnering my Roth IRA and HSA.
