Now have a portfolio of 6 properties with some that are owned others just managed but turn key operation for sure. 

When you do the turnkey offerings to completely new investors like that, you're going to end up working with a lot of inexperienced investors who blame the turnkey operator for things that are a normal part of the property management business.

Most people don't know how to use a wood burning fireplace correctly - operating the damper, not closing the damper until the fire is completely out, going to sleep with the fire or coals still burning. 

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.

We operate in the DFW, San Antonio, and Houston markets, helping investors grow their portfolios with turnkey LTR properties.

The tax benefits refer to the tax deductions from mortgage interest and property tax.The returns mainly rely on appreciation, and the cash flow only improves in the last few years, also depending on securing the 5% refinance rate.I've learned a lot from this forum, but as I start to operate on my own, I'm still not completely confident.

None were a match for me personally and many were not a strategy I wanted or too speculative (such as opportunistic strategy which is the riskiest strategy or investing in tertiary markets which also tend to be the first to go belly up when there is trouble etc).You probably actually want to look at your operating agreement to see what rights you have to books and records, etc. 

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m new to real estate investing and currently running a remote operation to help connect investors with distressed homeowners and foreclosed properties across various markets.

They are pure GARBGE. 3 months after they issued my premium I still get calls from their clowns to sign something and that insurance is not bound....I dont believe they are operating a insurance company, likely a scam artist to be honest  Sounds like this is an issue with their call center/in-house agency? 

I’m a long term rental guy, so make less than an Airbnb type operation on cash-flow .
