The 1st PPP helped a lot with our self-storage employees, but we're okay right now.

I remember listening to a bp speaker about how he converted a deserted mall into storage facility. 

If Warren Buffett is right and there is a crash ("correction") coming, then pocketing the money on the sale of the house might come in handy and will allow me to invest if/when prices tank...though I'm not sure what profit I'll make after everything is said and done.That being said, any thoughts folks?

Maybe a little but not much, more so if it isn't permanent and you have tenants trying to change propane tanks or something, or if you live in an area where gas is not commonly used and someone lights themselves a fireball because they are used to an electric stove/ cooktop. 

Local (on device) storage that later syncs when web access is regained would be a slick solution.Robust backups - both online/continuous backup plus the ability to dump a snapshot of data to an external hard drive.Easy access via search to contact details.What deal(s) they're a candidate for.Ability to text through the app.When responding via email, text or phone, auto suggest a follow-up task with a drop down for when to make contact next.Calendar that syncs to your smart phone.Ability to schedule appointments with fields for location and notes for the meeting. 

Tenants wants to refill and got a quote for $500 to refill the tank. $300 for gas and $200 for inspection.

I thought of building self-storage units but the lots are too small and not feasible.

Property taxes are about 30% less if the property is only in the county and not within city limits. 2) Does it have public sewer service and city/municipal water, or septic tank and/or private well?

You can invest in a myriad of real estate areas from single family rentals, fix and flips, apartments, mobile homes, self storage, mortgage notes, tax liens, subject-to financing and more that I could mention.

My primary concern is the fact that I'm investing in the Pacific Northwest which is somewhat hostile toward landlords and makes it difficult to do business, meaning there is a high level of regulatory risk in my region.I'm not sure exactly what asset class to focus on, I just heard the BP Podcast #416 with Matt Onofrio which got me really intrigued about industrial warehouses, and I've also watched a couple of youtubers who have had success with Self-storage, but I'm really just looking for books that others have found helpful for getting started in any non-multifamily CRE asset classes.I was really inspired by Matt's story and would like to start learning more about warehouse investing, I'm in Portland and we have an Ocean connected port, River barges, intercontinental railroad connections, an International airport and of course a large interstate highway intersection, so that sounds like a good place to start, but I don't know the first thing about this asset class.I get the things to be aware of for multifamily investing to forecast income and expenses and evaluate a deal, but I have a feeling Industrial is a whole different ball game, and I'm looking for resources to get started.Thanks,-Mike
