Upstate New York will generally qualify with standard markets such as Travelers, Nationwide etc... there are a few other property programs that do very well depending on the size.

Recently I started using nationwide title companies to pull title reports for me as I get them to also confirm if the title is insurable.

With a 24 month stepdown, if you refinanced one year later you would only incur a 1% charge on the total outstanding loan amount.

You have Intel headquarters being built, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Nationwide, etc.

What an outstanding post!

Outstanding, best wishes on this venture. 

I have 3 clients willing to buy: they are highly focused on specific buildings (and line) they want, and are watching the market to attack potential distressed owners and grab the best deal.Hope it gives the perspective, even if it's only focused on Miami, that is one of the hottest market nation-wide and some dynamics that are very local (i.e. latin-american buyers buying cash to take $ out of their country) I think a lot of this data for miami is wrong. it's not a buyers market or even close to a buyer''s market. 

Tenant verification sites, which charge for nationwide criminal, income, and credit checks, are clearing these applicants.

Overall the concept of Self Storage is fairly simple & straightforward nationwide, but the specifics do indeed differ state to state.But also, please peruse the current lease the Seller is using - at least you'll know what they've agreed to with the current tenants and vice versa. 

Part of the reason it's such a challenge for most people to provide content is that very few have both nationwide experience AND experience development each type of asset class.
