Hey Jon, Appreciate your thoughtful feedback here.

Coghill: Hey all-I’m looking for feedback on AppFolio.

Those that cannot weather the storm get wiped out.Having cashflow positive properties provides a margin of safety you just do not have with negative cashflow.Why are you focused on buying in your backyard? 

Let's talk about the 'upcoming economy transition'.Right now, investing in private placement syndications makes even more sense than ever. 1/3 of the dollars every created were willed into existence over the last 1.5 years, and with the cervesa sickness policies enacted, this is driving the dream of homeownership more and more unaffordable.We are going to see record rental demand going forward with huge housing unit shortages in many markets.Both passive investment in syndications and buying SFHs can fit this role, but owning rentals suffers from all the issues I outlined in my first posts.I'm usually funding 4-6 deals a year, and even with this cash position in portfolio is getting uncomfortably high.

I think there's a path to refinance that would flip me into positive cash flow, but I'm coming up short on ideas. 

@Justin FondrenIf your credit score is in the 700–730 range, you're in a great position to secure favorable loan terms.

I want to reach out and get feedback on where I would be able to find off market self storage facilities and how to approach the owner?

A successful rental property should offer positive cash flow, meaning your rental income should exceed your monthly expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.).To find the right tenants, ensure the property is priced competitively within the local rental market.

I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.

You can decline them off their credit, background and for not having 2 past positive references.
