Thank you Dylan, I am interested in storage units and garages.

We are seasoned, full-time investors moving out to Phoenix, AZ.

We are planning to invest in a DST which owns storage units in 5 states, then will we need to file taxes in all of these 5 states (considering none of the states are tax-free states)Thank you,

Must be easily accessible all seasons and be near outdoor activities (e.g. hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, etc.).

I'd bring on a bookkeeper. having concrete accounting at the ready is a big help for getting financing or for tax season.

This sounds like the sort of project best handled by a seasoned professional with years of experience. 

Just did the inspections on Friday and found that there is almost definitely an underground storage tank (for heating oil) on the property that is not in use. 

The only catch is you are then locked into seasoning periods until you can refinance out. 

On my end - I've heard that some of the easiest (and potentially cheapest) tricks could be:- applying a fresh coat of paint on the exterior / interior living room spaces of the home- refurnishing doors / door knobs - updating the lighting of bathrooms or kitchen area light fixtures- bathroom refurbishment- curb appeal / clearing out excess weeds/trees/shrubbery.I've also heard of situations where the home owner would either offer to build, or provide a backyard shed for the tenant as additional storage space, charging an extra $100-$150 per month if the tenant wanted to use it. 

There are people on here that live in the mid west who say the south east is the has some of the best STR locations due to the longer peak seasons,.
