They are all packed and ready to move, most of their belongings are in storage.

We are looking at some different options, including storage units. 

@Matthew Rembish First I would say do you have any experience in the self-storage industry because this is a major question that is reviewed heavily.  

The expensive route would be to hire an appraiser each time, but that's probably not economically feasible (as appraisers like to say).

One day I would love to own a mini storage business. 

I am currently looking into buying a large plot of land in Louisiana in a pretty excited market, but this would be my first dealings with something like this would like to learn about what I need to do and if it even feasible.

I'm stuck in an Airbnb with all my stuff back in Los Angeles on the moving truck and now I'm being charged for storage. 

Doing this progressively building equity along the way to hopefully build enough equity to sign another financing deal using the equity built up from my first multifamily and start all over again.Rinse, and Repeat.I know there are other ways of acquiring financing like hard money lenders, private loans and what not but traditional financing at a low rate seems more feasible for me at this time.

Other ways to increase value would be to find places to cut or lower expenses (laying off bad maintenance or property management or renegotiating cable or landscaping services lower or even taking water or other expenses and making the tenant pay for them if that's common in your area) and finding ways to add income besides raising rent (putting in vending machines or coin laundry, storage units or parking spots).

The basement is going to be cleaned up, but not finished entirely, mainly used for storage.
