From a financing perspective, I guess it is more difficult to borrow from banks against self storage facility to increase leverage, as compared to borrowing against residential rental property. 

If you have $20k from some "gig economy" side hustle that can't be used as income at $20k/12=$1,666/mo, it can still be used as an additional $20k down, meaning you need to borrow less, meaning you can take the same income that can be used further.... it takes less income to borrow $80k than it does to borrow $100k!

Let me know if I can ever be of assistance.

Hello Everyone,I am Maurice and I am excited to be here with you all to learn as well as to assist in order for us all to achieve our goals!

The margin for error is just to slim when you are borrowing at negative leverage.I would love to attend one of @Jeff Greenberg's meet ups and will try to fit it into my schedule. 

Any assistance is appreciated.Thank you,Doug Caminita

Philadelphia is currently seeing a lot of construction activity, development activity, and I would love to assist anyone in the process.

Most of the time a 5-10 year amortization the property will not cash flow after debt unless the loan to value is sufficiently low, which most borrowers are not looking for.

It might be hard to get a lender to borrow on a property like that unless you have a strong partner with a history of doing similar projects as the lead.I'm not sure which investors you have been speaking with that are not very excited to buy, but it likely relates to the strong real estate market and the fact that there are not as many deals around at this time. 

My understanding is that no fault "evictions" for a unit that the owner intends to occupy are allowed although you may have to pay relocation assistance.
