Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do in situations like that?

If they have too many customers, and can't store the data on their private servers, (Not enough disc space) they will hire it out to a large facility that will hold a ton of data. 

I've met with some very interesting and possibly dangerous situations. 

A lease option can be a great opportunity to not only secure your buyer to then start the 1031 but also to give you some flexibility in timing which is so critical in a 1031 situation.  

@Krystle Housley very similar situation here in Chicago.

We've done small properties under $100k up to huge facilities over $1B.

I am in a similar situation, renting a bedroom in a co workers condo.

@Brian, and that is a perfectly reasonable position to take, in my situation I'm in NYC, a very tenant friendly state, it's not unknown to be tied up in court for a year trying to evict a bad tenant, it happened to me, took eight months to get him out , situations like that can quickly mess up a positive cash flow, if I had a mortgage on that property I would have been in bad shape.

I try to handle the situation to avoid further issues down the road. in your instance i'll put some fans on to dry the area and continue to get a repair man.

I agree with you, he should be on this forum asking questions and providing accurate info about his situation, without knowing all facts we can't give accurate recommendation.
