The shop informed me the gas that is sold these days has ethanol in it and that eats away at the cheap carburetors that is used in small engines, when that gas sits in the line for long storage periods.

From that position, I'd consider whether I want to do a buy and hold or flip and the feasibility of doing so with what cash and credit are available.

We also have exchanged into a Strip mall and a Self storage complex.

Migration is a major factor to the overall market, which is why other regions may be doing better than here.We also sold our MF portfolio, and have been focusing on self storage.  

Also includes a carport per tenant and small storage unit.

I went so far as to buy a dehumidifier so he could use the basement for storage, replace the screen his dog damaged at no charge and other little things I don’t technically have to do to make it nicer for him  Now I feel like he’s taking advantage.Now the reason I’m considering giving in. 

But if this is the last affordable complex in the area and the price increase to "market rates" causes them to move much farther away and uproot any connections (like daycare and the like) that they have in the area... well, I'm not a fan of that.Moving on to self storage.

The 1970's attic apartment was just wasted storage for 12 years so we rehabbed it for $2500 & our live-in maintenance guy now pays $475/month plus does any & all building & property maintenance.But we do all the work ourselves.

The feasibility of which is highly dependant on your decisions on the previous steps.In parting, there is an important concept that you will need to learn about investment property loans. 

I have read that for determining equilibrium a good rule of thumb is to use an avg of somewhere between 7-8 sq ft of self storage per person within the radius you are analyzing.
