The idea that you could screw up so many multifamily investments but are a reliable source for investing in farmland is farcical.

But it might be a good idea to raise rates each year or so by $50 to $100 because it can communicate that you aren't completely checked out, and you value your property, your time, your investment.

Henry the returns were 12 to 17% depending on amount invested and how long you locked up. the other thing that this fund invested in was  defunct brick and motor like radio shack  stien mart etc with the idea that they were going to turn those old name brands into  on line sales .

Since you’re open to traveling, visiting potential markets and properties in person is a great idea.

I like Jin's idea of letting it lapse and then reissuing it.

I believe the idea is that if you transfer a property from your name to a trust you own, the Due On Sale isn't called.

However I do have a few other ideas but I would need to know a bit more about your situation, timeframe, overall financial objectives.

Do you have an idea of how much you can afford to put down? 

I was hoping to hear some ideas on what everyone is doing, other than working a W2 and eating ramen.

@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.
