Milwaukee has the largest number of duplxes of any city in the US to my best knowledge. 5% down get's you out from paying rent and you also learn the ropes in a really-hard-to-screw-up setting. 

Proper has gone up to $8500! 

The other disadvantage of storage rental is they are generally slow to fill up, we are financing a new Construction self storage, and the lease up is estimated at 4 years.  1 suggestion would be to buy 1 container, lease it, then buy the subsequent container.

Sounds great that your not paying and its kept up.

Issue is that it doesn’t look like rent is gonna catch up with my mortgage unless I’m able to refinance at a ridiculously low rate before I PCS next year.

On paper I'm ready - I have the money, I've done the research, I have well-defined property/neighborhood criteriaI, I have an agent, contractor, property manager, lender, etc.I'm targeting off market deals with light value add potential in an area with high appreciation potential.

Ask some questions:1. is the RevPar / RevPal going up year over year in the market your looking to build in ?

I charge around $70/hour, I set my clients up on a flat amount per month though.

They are often taking up the limited parking spaces, which the other tenants are complaining about, hence why i know they are there most of the time.
