I have a few questions...Where are you sourcing the portable storage units?

Marketing and getting off-market motivated sellers.Quality Cash buyers listLead sources for WholesalingListsourcePopstreamREI List BrokerHow to estimate Rehab cost.$10 per ft= light renovations$20 per ft= medium renovation$30 per ft= Heavy RenovationsWhat is an A-B contract?

Bring in food trucks and outdoor movies. 

If I see several sources (what we'd call in the Navy "corroborating indications") that AZ is a tough market, I have a hard time convincing myself to look at it from a different angle.  

What is the best way to source a private lender (or partner) for a opportunity?

At the moment I’m sourcing for my 1st multi unit 2-4 thru FHA in the Joliet area.

Most people like to enjoy some sort of holiday meal and/or HAVE TO buy food and this would pair well with the timeframe you're wanting to give something back. 

Stick with 2-4 lead sources.

Food for thought... 

helloi'm also learning in this area but i know warm market is a source of private lenders.I havent heard of REI meetups in my area (Zimbabwe) but possibly next door in South Africa.Asking for referrals, from acquaintances also may connect us with likely sources of private moneyI've been thinking the owner of the property may be a source of money to facilitate the deal closing (seller financing at low interest rates), right?
