(I'm wary to believe that, due to other bad advice and mistakes on my return.)Also, I'd probably rather not aggregate the three properties, since based on that article:If a qualifying real estate professional makes the election to aggregate all rental activities for purposes of measuring material participation, the combined rental real estate activity is treated as a single activity for all purposes of Sec. 469, including the disposition rules of Sec. 469(g).

In the past, I've always been able to view/inspect a property prior to investing and throughout the whole investment/management/disposition cycle. 

.` The other box that states, Disposition of Real Property I would assume to tick the box that says, "Action of trustee pursuant to terms of a trust"?

Also the appreciation is greater here vs other areas in Florida so on the disposition side your exit value will be greater which is also something to consider.

@Matthew Orton Your purchase price will be informative to the assessor but not dispositive.

As the statute indicates, some federally governed programs are excluded, and legal advice is always recommended to avoid a potentially expensive mistake.NEW UPDATED WORDING FOR YOUR LEASE – note this is in most leases nowBY SIGNING THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT, THE TENANT AGREES THAT UPON SURRENDER, ABANDONMENT, OR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE DWELLING UNIT DUE TO THE DEATH OF THE LAST REMAINING TENANT, AS PROVIDED BY CHAPTER 83, FLORIDA STATUTES, THE MANAGER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE OR DISPOSITION OF THE TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY.TIPS 1.

It's a disposition most helpful to new investors who need more room to grow their portfolio.To be fair, I should stress that the initial search and purchase of a C/D-class property is the easiest part of the acquisition.

With the last 8+ years of appreciation most larger markets likely wont see a drop enough to need a large amount of short sale disposition. 

(still have to deal with tenants)  I am now looking at our disposition plan versus acquisition plan.

Until there is a cultural shift in the USA society of buying & hoarding more, more, more, or until we get over our addiction to "stuff", Self Storage seems like a very good Asset Class to be.Please note that I am privy to a Town Hall Call where we discuss the state of the Self Storage Industry, the Economy, and the Markets in general, including Acquisitions & Dispositions, Development & Conversions, Equity Markets, Debt Markets, & so forth from the perspective Investors, Owners, Operators, Managers, Brokers, Lenders, etc.
