I've also done hard money lending, some development deals (build from ground up), self-storage, etc.. 

We were currently spending $850/mo for a local 1000 sqft garage space that was being used for storage and shop purposes.

However, we have probably about an acre and a half in the back that I think would be perfect to develop into a storage unit space (easy access for any size vehicle, etc etc.).

One way is to increase the rental income on the building as well as think about other streams of income from the property, perhaps there's parking or storage you can rent to their neighbors who would need it?

RV, Boat, Truck, or Storage business owners out there!

Or to self storage

RV park, self storage, other? 

Private storage locker adjacent to residence.

The next one I’m looking at is either self storage or smaller mulifamily 10-50 unit value add fund.

Hi All, I have a few large garages attached to a small apartment building which are allowed for storage uses.
