Hey Alex Khojainov - I've been in your shoes more times than I can count and I guess I still am.

A lot of profit is thrown down the drain by holding a property that long and moving slow on the rehab.Put yourself into the shoes of a lender.

I have to quailfy the following by saying I was not in the same shoes as most all of you attempting to wholesale deals.

This year my company constructed a new self storage facility with UHaul rental center.

I went to a few storage auctions about ten years ago.

Preamble: "An old saying declares that “the cobbler’s children have no shoes.”

Now my cash reserves and years of wealth creation, I had a wife.... who is recently ex wife for a reason, a good clip of that wealth is now in shoe form....

Ask me about a mini-storage I'm stuck in!

FYI that anyone can get 7G of free storage using MS SkyDrive cloud - I have it linked to my PC so I can get to stored contracts, project plans, etc without storing local copies on a cell or tablet & sucking up storage space.

These could include decreasing vacancy, increasing rents, charging utilities to tenants, laundry services, vending machines, adding storage units for rent, fixing up the units for higher rents, charging for garages instead of open parking, etc.
