Now I am looking at a self-storage unit facility closeby me.

In today's market more than half your visitors will come from mobile devices.

Don't forget to ask them to consider "amenities", such as laundry, extra bathrooms, off street parking, garages, storage, porches, etc.https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/husm/uam.h...Next is the 2016 40th percentile FMRhttps://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/F... and here is the 2016 50th percentile FMRhttps://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/F...

Dear BP family,I received a lead from a middle-income neighborhood and I am trying to figure out the best strategy considering the following:Empty-nesters tired of home owners dues every six months, have a few recreational toys they are tired of paying storage so they may want to move if the price is right. 158K is still owed on the home but has been assessed for 204K Comps show that the ARV is 250K We are overestimating that the repairs would be 20K max as it is only 9 years old, granite countertops, hardwood and porcelain tile floors in good condition, crown molding, etc.4 bed/2 bath2681 sqftBuilt in 2007We personally don’t see this as a flip according to our numbers and while doing the numbers for a rental, it looks to be a negative cash flow…and that was without adding the HOA fees every six months.We are trying to look in the best interest of both the investor and seller.

Storage is something we have room for.

I have thought about storage units also, whether it is buying one or buying the land and building.

If all goes well my goal is to eventually get into self storage investments.

I plain to sell 2 lots, rent 1 for $185.00 a month for a trailer, put a 8x40 storage pod on another and rent it for $150 a month But my big idea is to donate one to Habitat for humanity. 

Finding the right PM is key if you go that route.We have issues with gang graffiti and break-ins to carport storage units, but crime is not the big concern.

I was busy with a self storage project and apart from bidding on a few properties at tax sales, never got into that market in a meaningful way.
