Hey Zoe, I was in your shoes, but I have had better luck reaching out to plumbers directly on Thumbtack

You can also ask him to frame it out and add a door...now you have more storage space instead of a loft.

Hello BP, I am looking into investing with syndication agencies that raise money to buy multi family, mobile home and self storage facilities. 

My best trick to finding a rental rate is to put yourself in the shoes of the renter.

I guess I am asking what successful RE people like yourselves would do in my shoes.

No new clothes, lattes, shoes, going out etc.

So, if we were in your shoes, we'd be happy to drop our minimum return requirements to $60K from $100K on those deals.That said, that's just our criteria, and I recognize everyone has different business models and risk thresholds. 

If the units are small , in the back yard get 3 sheds , one for each unit for storage .

I'm looking for some help in evaluating a deal on a small boat storage at a popular lake, located in very close proximity to the marina and boat ramp.As you'll soon discover in my meanderings on the subject, I'm very new at this.It's a small boat storage, 2 buildings, 24 spots.

If not, what about putting your stuff in storage and renting a furnished, medium-term rental after this lease term ends?
