My wife, Brittany, and I also own and self-manage several units in the Springfield area.

We've averaged around 7% for mortgage rates for the past two years now…I think if we can see a settling somewhere in the 6% range, if not sub 6%, we will see nice consumer confidence not only for home values, but rent values as well.

Maybe self-accountability does matter. 

In other words, it's a self-defeating argument that makes no sense.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

I am looking to speak to some people that are knowledgeable about the self-storage market in the Memphis area. 

How do you gain more confidence as an LP? 

Are you looking at self managing or putting into a management company?

While I don’t yet have personal experience with a HELOC, I’ve thought about this one for my self many times.

As I expressed on the phone and I have already spoken with Rick as well, I am confident that we have the inventory that meets your needs to build out your portfolio in a faster time frame.
