Out of town.  Customer calls at 8:30 pm.  His unit door is off its track.  Wants to get his corvette out for the weekend to drive.  He is pissed off.  Someone tried to break into his unit he thinks.  Got to the hotel ...

this is a great way to lose money and there are endless examples on BP of folks in HCOL areas who have done this and regret it.in a couple years maybe you can keep your condo and rent it out if you're under the cap. 

And now it seems to be an endless cycle.

I’ve also thought about self storage and in many places in the country you can get into a facility for $250K.

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.

Ill accept all answers and let me know if you got other questions on my scenario.I just feel like Im at a spot where the options here are endless and I want to  continue building my assets to create family wealth and retire early and enjoy life.

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

These loans are more expensive and have high interest rates most of the time.If you are purchasing a commercial property (5 units +, storage units, and so on) then you need commercial financing (above options are geared towards residential).

If you don't allow them to stay, they will likely need to go to a long term stay hotel or something else similarly expensive PLUS pay for storage for their belongings, PLUS pay to move their belongings twice rather than once.

Self storage  did a deal for him were I gap funded it buyer needed to close in 3 days there is 400k in equity I  put up 75k to close the deal and we get 100k back when it sold no matter what its sold for plus cash flow..
