Show up at a storage unit and they'll put out new mattresses to lay on and try.

To me this is nice flooring, nice clean walls, nice modern ceiling fans, nice countertops, lots of counterspace, gas stove, lots of storage, nice closets, in unit laundry (best) or free laundry (second best), nice bathroom with tile and storage.

You may want to look into renting to a landscaper , or small contractor who needs outside secure storage

I like large, value add multifamily, self-storage and mobile home parks where there are strong trends in place for more renters, storing stuff in good times and bad, and increasing demand for affordable housing.

If you want more privacy, and storage space, go for the house. 

Motorcycles/Storage Issues.

NC General Statutes - Chapter 42 29 (4) Any unpaid bills that become a lien against the demised property due to the tenant's occupancy. (5) The costs of re-renting the premises after breach by the tenant, including any reasonable fees or commissions paid by the landlord to a licensed real estate broker to re-rent the premises. (6) The costs of removal and storage of the tenant's property after a summary ejectment proceeding. (7) Court costs. (8) Any fee permitted by G.S. 42-46.

Perhaps limit the value of assets in each LLC to about $500k, except if you have a bigger biz (like storage units), then it may be valued at more than $500k, and that's ok. 

JC Skweres,I am admittedly biased so take my words with a grain of salt but generally speaking my vote would be for Self-Storage as the best vehicle for one's money.

But then I am dealing with paper (or I have a farm or huge storage space).
