Identify experienced players in storage (there are some on BP) and see if they are willing to take on a “co investor”.  

I few platforms that might help...Breezeway, Turno, or Resort Cleaning.

You would want to be looking in the Adirondacks, ideally on a lake, and near a ski resort, to capitalize on every season as much as possible.This brings me to my last point.

If this coach is in your market and knows the key players in the market, has used various property managers and can tell you the good ones, knows the loan brokers, knows the risks of investing on this side of town versus that, knows the tenant base for your area and what they are wanting from their apartments and what they can afford, than I would say a coach (maybe not the one you are interviewing) is worth it.  

This is one regional player, one statewide, and one national.The price of answers to "but what about if..." is a phone call.

Probably need a track record, probably need 30-50% down equity to be a player. 

I know there's STR restrictions in LV proper, but since this is part of a resort, I would assume the resort can rent my unit when I'm away?

One can get up to 8% with some big players.

@Erin Murphy- thanks ...before resorting to using a  DSCR  loan - I would try to get  approved for a conventional loan .....terms are likely better  ....if you already have  tried this -  most  DSCR loan lenders  will want to see previous ownership history

However, they knew a big player in the area that would buy it in cash.
