I just met with the U-haul representative for this part of Virginia and he says they always want a 4-star location as far as VPD and high visibility. 4.

I am toying with the idea to cross over into NNN commercial that can generate at least 8% for a more passive investment.My most recent deal, April 2022, penciled out just under 6% initially ($34k), but was bumped up to 8% ($40k) by COE.

No seasoning loans are more expensive and if you're planning on keeping a property for the long haul, take your time and get the best financing you can get rather than rush your financing for a few dollars.Best of luckStephanie

It may take several trys before you get in but if you take a step back and consider the bigger picture many find the extra effort ends up being significantly more profitable longer haul.

If I get a repair bill for kids toys in the toilet I push back and ask that the tenant be charged and I should be reimbursed.  

U-haul publishes an annual report that shows what cities people are moving to...also, I only invest in “red states” where I know legislation is favorable to me the landlord.

You have a lot more expenses than PITI over the long haul....repairs, appliances, vacancies, capital improvements/replacements (AC,roof, etc) turn over costs, management, etc. 

It's getting to the point that these fractional ownership interests are too small and the beneficiaries would rather just cash out than hold for the long haul.  

They'll sell to the first guy they know who comes to them with a signed contract, a fat earnest-money check, and a promise that the buyers will not back out of the sale.You can expect to haul a lot of dead people's trash out of the places and find all kinds of undisclosed problems with this strategy, but it's been incredibly worthwhile for us so far.

I have no trouble hauling a load to Goodwill or selling things on Facebook as soon as I stop using them regularly.
