@curt SmithWe have been very successful syndicating on Self Storage Deals.

I wish i was in your shoes!!

Lots of people here who've been in your shoes and started from nothing and built themselves a great real estate income.

What we do is scan/update our pay check stubs, pull our bank statements and other financial documents once a month into our lender folder on our cloud storage.

Salesmanship needs to be more sophisticated than selling balloons at the fair or shoes getting customers involved in games.

There are many types of commercial available you might consider self storage no toilets, lowest break even and sale point of all commercial.

I live by the adage of "don't take advice from someone you wouldn't trade shoes with."

One tip I give all of my clients when they are using comparable sales data: put yourself in the ultimate buyer's shoes.

Might just put up a fence and rent outdoor storage, boats and campers.

Martin I'm excited about this new adventure into "buy & hold" REI and look forward to learning from people like your self that have been in my shoes and are now investing in real estate.
