Now I just need to hold up my side and get the cash together that my partner is expecting!

But I have yet to talk to a potential JV partner from BP that didn't expect me to teach them how to buy notes, my vendors, the processes I use etc.

They make these in all the standard sizes people expect storage units to be available in.There is/was a huge need for storage space in my neck of the woods and I came "this close" to buying some shipping containers and doing exactly what you are thinking. 

However, your client should expect an experienced investor to make their own calculations in order to present their offer.

I can answer phone calls and pre-screen or I can visit the sellers with contracts in hand and expect me to close them.. 

But I make it VERY CLEAR that this is their one pass, they've used it up and they won't be getting another one and if they're late again they can expect me to demand the late fee. 

I would expect the landord to pay for accommodations until the unit is deemed to have working utilities required to live.  

or must this process be broken uo separately?

Each city gives you different headaches, forcing you to shed money like crazy.Plan about $200k for site built, expect rent of around $2500/month, plus appreciation of about $400k, just estimate.For Hayward, doing a main house expansion (900 to 2000 sf) and an ADU (1000 sf) at the same time.

Good luck, expect to pay over market prices for multi family in a decent neighborhood unless you learn how to market to find motivated sellers yourself, can do some serious MLS magic with a magical realtor.
