This was not what I was interested in doing and when I voiced that I was interested in 5-20 unit deals and had the funding for that in place I just got additional push back for buying the larger buildings.

There waiving regulations that would have impeded it, and are trying to get additional funding to cover anyone who had any lack of coverage. 

Additionally, the Villages are close by and with an aging population it attracts a lot of healthcare field workers.Now, with a lot of rental properties you may run into slightly longer vacancy periods if you have a unit turn at the same time as others, but generally speaking renter demand is solid. 

I'll send a PM with my contact info, happy to connect more by email/phone or in person next time you're in town.

IMO this is much too little additional return to put your personal residence at risk.  

Most lenders who order appraisals are required to order them through a 3rd party AMC, which can add additional costs to the appraisal but ensures that there is no lender (Or borrower) bias in regards to the values.

This is great info!

Does anyone know a property manager that supports small self-storage rentals in addition to residential rentals?

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly.

However, just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I am in favor of the Government being given additional power to enforce additional laws and restrictions that infringe upon our freedom.
