I am a big believer in investing for appreciation (especially if it was forced appreciation), but $800 a month negative is just too much to swallow IMO unless that property was appreciating well over that every month and you had endless cash to burn.

I keep a portable AC (or 2) in storage at my places and whip them out during emergencies for guests. 

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.

Digitize physical receipts for easy storage.

Everything is endlessly and creatively "leveraged".

We do Self Storage and use Self Storage specific Insurance and thus have not used him.Order of protection:1. 

Hey BP community,I’m investing in a self-storage facility for the first time and have narrowed down my options to a few properties, mainly in Texas, New York or Arkansas.1.

You don't want to start a relationship to learn about storage units and then find out they only invest in single-family homes.3.

I’m not as familiar with the tenant market up that way, but if you’re interested in the Syracuse area, multi families are endless possibilities! 

What are the industry benchmarks for storage unit profitability?
