Just acquired a very underperforming self-storage facility in Los Angeles area. 

If the property cash flows once you have it up to standard, hold it and move forward from there.

We are building to HUD standards now so we do not have any issues with design review when we engage.  

.- Garage/Backyard: Yard is standard Chicago size with above ground pool that takes up most space (girlfriend wants to keep, I want to get rid of haha).

Always do a background/credit check, call their last two landlords, collect a security deposit, have a formal lease, call their employer to verify income and to get an idea of how they perform at work and be extremely clear in your standards.

Here is the story.I recently acquired a small storage facility (34 units) in Carson, WA (40 mins from Portland).

Can’t apply same standards in every market.

YES, you lose the revenue and the cost of running it, as well as risk of running afoul w the EPA or local government, and the eventual repairs/ replacement costs of the facility. 

Offer is the standard PA contract and has a mortgage contingency with $300k loan price.

Is it a non-standard window?
