I may have stumbled upon a great deal but as I am not a professional or seasoned expert like most of you, I thought I would drop the numbers and plans here and see if I’m outside of my depth hereNear Clanton, Alabama I found a 4 acre lot for $100k.

We do not NEED to do the refi but the plan is to eventually do it and remove the other person from the loan.

My parents really had zero financial literacy.

With that, (and regarding your Question #2) I think your expense line items and numbers will run very similar to what can be found in this BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3915/27972-analyzing-the-financials-of-a-self-storage-facilityYou'll have larger units, which typically means longer length of stay and lower turnover so your management/payroll expense could be lower.

Go to their planning zoning section.  

I would say yes, if you are planning to grow.

Try to FAIR plan then get a wrap around

Everytime I see a post saying this I check Podio and it has a GlobiFlow plan for $24 a month.

I would use the time with current tenants to get contractors in and give me estimates on future projects I have planned for the place, then execute them once tenants move out.If there is a good contract on the tenants moving out either June 20th or July 2nd with the prior landlord, would you go forward with the June 5th closing date or move it to a different date after the current tenants leave?
