I suppose if I could do it again I would try something with a bit more 4 season ability.

Also, being tax season, i am looking for a good CPA, with real estate investor experience.

I’m looking at investing in a storage facility but would like some input on the numbers. 160 units mixed climate & non climate control40 rv/boat spotsGross rent(includes uhaul) 220,000Expenses 129,000NOI 81,000The expenses aren’t verified and some items seem low.

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience applying for zoning variances for self storage?

It's next to a tourist attraction and we are thinking about building some small cabins to rent out during the vacation season which would be about three quarters out of the year.

I’m well seasoned in the real estate industry so although I would like training, I’m more interested in a brokerage with flexibility that won’t cost me more than my time can afford.

Underground storage tanks, chemical seepage into the ground, etc...

@Tarek Youssef I'm also looking into my first investment as a short term rental in Big Bear,  I think it depends where in the town you are looking to buy but its definitely seasonal there.  

For instance, I'm working out a deal with a seller on storage units.

I'll try to answer your specific questions but keep in mind I am not an expert, this is just some information I have picked up on my journey from more seasoned investors.1.
