I have also considered selling one or two and putting that into storage units or multi-fam, not sure though if I could do a 1031 since it wouldn't be like property, and if so there would be a huge tax hit.

I’m still fairly new to commercial property investing but I will be putting my first offer in on a self storage property later this week and I have a question.

Get the cash, look for a deal that makes better sense for your goals, and start fresh.

Looking for recommendations for self-storage brokers in the Clark county area. 

I am 18 freshly out of high school.

Sorry, I've had fresh college-grad junior brokers and then very-motivated non-grads.I'll take the latter thanks :)

You need to use a certain level of finesse when dealing with the City.If the unit was constructed illegally; without a permit, they can require you to strip everything down to the studs, and either go thru the building permit process to get it done legally, or make you provide a different use for the space (i.e. storage).

This covered porch has no permit because 13 yrs ago we asked the previous park manager if we can cover this porch and she said yes but to use it as a storage.

Hi @Michael Nahm, I would choose to do the most cost-efficient thing possible (which would probably be to have a fabricator come in and change the edge . . . a beveled edge could remove that damage and make the counter look fresh again), and then bill that to the tenant by way of deduction from their deposit.In reality we don't help our tenants by not holding them accountable for the damages in a property.
