For 28 storage units, I am wondering how you can afford to provide 24-hour protection and access to units for your tenants since I imagine tenants like to have access no less than Monday through Saturday between 8 am and 5 pm and that has to be a lot of labor costs, payroll taxes, etc.

We are north of Sacramento by 25 minutes and houses are still relatively affordable.

FYI In Colorado the ski resort communities are blaming STR;s for affordable housing issues.

Now that I’m dealing with the commercial, I have to double the amount of research and learning that has to be done, and a lot of the time I have a hard time finding commercial laws, etc. that being said, if you’re a successful business owner with 40 employees, hopefully you can afford carrying costs with vacancies if you need to slow down, or afford attorney fees to have a good real estate attorney on retainer to save you some research.

People that can afford to go on a nice vacation can afford high gas prices.

It's all up to what you're looking to do and if you can "afford" to break even for a while and wait for appreciation but there's no guarantees with that and could leave you in a tough spot.

SA is also a massive metropolitan with affordable investment properties.

Agree your point not to max out on one property...any recommendation on more affordable markets so i can buy two instead one?

I'm a 25 year old, mechanical engineer, obsessed with fitness and health, cars, travel, and obviously investing.

Not discriminating if you have just cause and the check in is regarding the safely and health of your building and it’s occupants.
