Time is money.. longer the note period is to payoff the less your going to get for the note. 

Hey @Bekah Estes, welcome to the BP Forum!

Also, if you’re a private lender yourself, feel free to chime in—I’d love to hear from you!

I haven't used this engineer enough to know if his opinions are valid, so I wanted to see if any investors find his opinion questionable. 

I just wanted to send out a quick note to see who are my fellow self storage investors on this forum?

Quote from @Kwanza Price: Hello, I just upgraded to PRO.

Obviously, the rules will differ from state to state.The most successful buyers have trusted bidders with cashier’s checks in multiple denominations (for cash sales) and the actual buyers have field runners and people to monitor multiple prospective properties at a given time and check sales status for postponements due to BK, etc.This is the case in larger metro markets where many properties could go to sale but few do so.There are often better ways to acquire properties then auctions.

We are about to buy a Building that just so happens to be in an opportunity Zone and meets all the requirements to be eligible for a fund. 

I am happy to make some connections with some other Chicago investors as well!

@Stuart Udis my thought was to spread the risk is why to partner.
