For example, you could sell everything and invest 1/3 in stocks, 1/3 in syndication, and 1/3 in self-storage or some other real estate.

If its a big property, as in they have a large square footage of land and that is where the money is tied up, they can rent storage space, farming space, etc.  

I recently also heard of storage units as a more passive investment.

Mini storage on same or close by property.Please add all that you can here.

Hi River, currently I'm looking for self storage and mobile home park. 

As of right now, there are 3 existing permitted structures: main house, detached garage in front (600 sq ft), and huge 2-story detached storage unit in back (2400 sq ft).

I have a clear goal tenant in mind, and pay close attention to the trends and lifestyle amenities that'll help us get to the top of the market from finish aesthetics to secure bike storage. 

Perhaps a large 3 bedroom that has an office or storage space that could be used as a 4th bedroom.

It's easier to just park in the driveway, esp when the garage temps can be well over 100 degrees.For the right buyer, being able to generate $1500 / mo rent far outweighs the extra storage space.

I assumed that since I have to provide storage for recycling that I would also be responsible for curbing it.
