@Timz Valenzuela, You are moving in the right direction, and congrats on your investment!

You have to front the cost of water and electric but they do all the maintenance for you without having to loop you in (usually through some kind of direct line).

@Talita Oliveira You should search for local OH  self-storage investors here on BP and then reach out to them directly.

Options include but not limited to:1) private lending - you can do it directly with flippers or through agencies that offer such services2) invest in the commercial real estate ( can be apartments or other assets) via syndications - you can find a lot of us here on BP. 

You could also consider a solution like slice.io (not .com). 

Can somebody point me in the right direction of investor friendly lenders or possibly give me some input on how I could finance 5-7 more properties?  

You can only buy homes inside of a Self Directed retirement account, which TSP is not. 

I'm still working on a solution for me going away in general, but this is a high-need issue if a breaker blows, and it seems since this change to the electric it will. 

I think if you are starting out and only have a direction you want to go vs a foundation of success and failures to build from a mentor is worth a lot more money. 

If you ask for Stephanie or Larry directly mention my name and they will definitely make you a priority.http://www.rct24.com/index.htmlsincerely,Mark
