Your looking at a blended cost of capital around 24%.When I run my hedge fund, we get a blended cost of capital of less than 5% using a credit facility/warehouse line based on Libor at 3.25% currently blended with the targe returns of the fund at 8% (10% to 11% if interest is compounded).

However, the people moving to the community without ties are teachers (we had a bunch retire these last few years), an attorney, medical professional, mechanic, manager of assisted living facility, restaurant owner, carpenter, etc. on top of those other professions. 

The coastal areas have decent markets mostly driven by tourism and retirement communities.

 Hello Peter , One can find any amount of books on how to build from the ground up on new self storage facilities.

I have a condo in Mesa right across the street from the new Cubs Spring Training facility that I'm thinking about turning into a vacation rental. 

My client already sold off the most valuable parcels that included manufacturing facilities (not residential), but this 6+ acres of land remain. 

They provide our linens and wash them at their facilities rather than using our machines.

There is one part of the property market Barrack said he still likes: self-storage facilities, which require little capital investment and don’t show any signs of slowing demand.

Currently I am a parking operations manager and I manage several parking facilities in the downtown Tacoma area.

I am interested in single family rentals and building and renting a storage facility.
