Preferred returns would even be acceptable but not a straight interest rate play if the lender understands the structure. 

I could not find the answer I'm looking for when searching.The following example could be used:- Amount invested $100k- Preferred return (5 years): 8% or $8k- Disposition (Sale) (Year 5): $200kThis simple example assumes no cash flow beyond the preferred return, no cost segregation/bonus segregation, and doesn't take depreciation into account.Would the first 5 years of cash flow (preferred return) not be taxed, and only the remaining amount on the disposition would be taxed (e.g. $200k - $100k + 5 * $8k = $140k)?  

Those rentals debt serviced and also covered my California monthly rent (I know some of you may question paying someone else's mortgage) but at that time, I preferred the renting lifestyle which placed me much closer to work, my family, my clients, and friends.

It seems like you would prefer the easiest and quickest way out.

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

In that case I write off the lost rent as cost of doing business, but I prefer that to the expense and hassle of an eviction, which typically ends up costing us more and takes longer, even though Milwaukee is still pretty landlord-friendly.I have also done cash for keys, but typically very conditional. 

They often have a list of preferred housing providers they work with.

We would prefer something that allows us to sleep peacefully at night.

If you prefer to be hands-off with full-service management, then I'd plan on paying around 20% commission as that's pretty common.

I love the concept especially given the need in your market for storing things like snow machines, boats, rvs etc, but also for repair or general "fab shops".As long as you are seeing the demand in your specific market for these spaces, and perhaps its worth getting some leases signed up prior to breaking ground but thats a personal preference thing, I think the numbers look promising if the use case is there.
