Anyone out there in investor B's shoes?  

First of all thx for reading, here is the situation my grandfather has an extremly large storage unit for sale approx 40 ft by 120ft he is asking 45000 for the unit with everything in it, he is 82 yrs old has been in the resale bussiness for the past 30yrs going to flea markets, yard sales, auctions, etc.

So...The ultimate goal: Out of corporate America as a full-time investor doing one or two per fix and flips per month and build a solid rental portfolio (10+ Single/Multi-Family homes and a few large commercial properties).I'm starting out with $10k-12k cash, about $10k available via lines of credit and a subpar credit report/score (subpar enough to where mortgages over $40k are pretty much out of the question).If your were in my shoes, how would you start out with REI?

I think a lot of us have been in your shoes before.

Come by and say hi and we can chat about why you might want to look into Self Storage.  

Let's put yourself in the seller's shoes. 

If I were in your shoes and if I didn't feel I had enough information to make an investment (like inspect the property with my contractor), I would pass on the property and keep moving.

If I were in your shoes I would...Network with the real estate brokers in town that understand and your size and type of product.  

@Diron Binns  @Gerald Harris  gave you some great steps for wholesaling the deal...I would say the most important thing is to "know your objective"...and to be as clear as possible on your objective as possible, so people can give you advice on how to help you reach that objective...There is a lot of great info and advice on BP, but ultimately we are all making "shots in the dark" as to the best option for you because it's our perspective NOT your Perspective...This info is still valuable, but can become very confusing because you don't know each person's perspective...MY Suggestion are the same to most beginners starting out...first step is to know your goal over the next 3-5 years...I will let you know a little about my perspective...I am a Rehabber and Have Been Buying and Rehabbing over the past 8 years in Chicago...I've been in your shoes...I wanted to accelerate my learning curve and do as many deals as I could as quickly as possible.
