I have half of a storage unit dedicated to staging materials.

Need a fresh start.Looking to buy my first house through lease-option or seller financing.I think these are my best options now.

I am sorry if it seemed like I may have mislead you, but to me, this is just like starting out fresh again.

After reading @Brandon Turner's article on MF investing, I am not wondering if we can skip tearing out a wall to qualify as a 4 unit, and just make that unoccupied studio 'storage space' like he was doing for that property.

If there is a gap inbetween listings then we put the furniture into a storage unit.

I specialize in Self Storage now but have good experience with singles, doubles and quads as well...mostly buy and hold.

all,i think we still have to terminate today to get our 2,000 earnest money back b/ today is the end of the financing period - we've been under contract for over 5 wees, and they already extended the financing contingency twice...but yes, we could start fresh and keep trying....i think we have some time b/c I don't think a cash investor is going to offer 62 cash and no one can get a loan, and it may take awhile for the bank to lower to a 40-50k cash offer, which even that we can't compete with really (well, we could take more out of our 401k but then it shoots our monthly payment up b/c it's only a 5 year loan... and like i said, i just don't feel right getting a home equity loan/line of credit on our primary)...ok, talking in circles enjoy the live show!!

Even as a small family may not need a fourth bedroom, they may want an office or an extra room for storage or a play room or a music room or...I certainly wouldnt walk away from a good deal just because it isnt 3 bed or less.

You put your stuff in storage (or in a truck), vacate the old one and move in shortly later.

I am one of those fresh out of the gate real estate investors.
