Anyhow, you have a good chunk of change to get started and in those shoes I don't see you having any issues.

One bedroom needs repainting, but the paint is already there, in the carport storage.

So I emptied all of this property into storage, and according to PA law, planning to hold it for 30 days and if tenant doesn't try to reclaim, will sell property to try to recoup my losses.

Glenn Espinosa Not to hijack the thread but do you keep all this furniture in storage somewhere or do you just have that many projects going on that you keep recycling them to different properties?

I must say that I am growing very eager to step out take my shoes off and get my feet wet, however I don't want to rush into anything without my ducks lined up.The plans I have in mind that I think would allow me to step out and make things happen:Plan: bird-dogging for other investors in the area-save cash- get HML loan and acquire property-do 1st flip (if I start now I should be able to have this done by the end of the year or beginning of next year)Plan: become an assistant to an experienced investor and trade my clerical experience, critical thinking/problem solving skills, etc in return for on the job learningI was also thinking about wholesaling, but I am just learning how that worksAm I thinking the correct way as far as getting my feet in the shallow end and eventually wading out to the deep end?

And it's possible that the buyer's lender will have an issue underwriting the deal if there are unpermitted additions.So, if I were in your shoes, I'd just do it correctly...

For things like tile, we're keeping a storage unit so that we can stock up when there is a sale on something we like.

I've seen many times where the bathtub shoe is leaking or the toilet.Also, check the downspouts to make sure they're far enough from the house and also the grading.I've seen sump pumps in crawlspaces.

I thought that there would be zoning issues, but I came across this property where it looks like the owner is building some in the back yard of some multi-family units: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/602-Perceful-St-Roland-OK-74954/2114548342_zpid/This 6-unit apartment complex includes the empty lot next to it: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/218-N-Market-Ave-Shawnee-OK-74801/2113968842_zpid/Is it possible / legal/a good idea to build self-storage units on the same property as your apartment complex?

I am trying to buy a self-storage building.
