Thanks for looking out for him with more direct info :)@Dennis M.

@Will Gaston thank you for your input and pointing me in the right direction

You just took a giant leap in the right direction; signing up on Bigger Pockets!

@Timz Valenzuela, You are moving in the right direction, and congrats on your investment!

You have to front the cost of water and electric but they do all the maintenance for you without having to loop you in (usually through some kind of direct line).

@Talita Oliveira You should search for local OH  self-storage investors here on BP and then reach out to them directly.

Options include but not limited to:1) private lending - you can do it directly with flippers or through agencies that offer such services2) invest in the commercial real estate ( can be apartments or other assets) via syndications - you can find a lot of us here on BP. 

Can somebody point me in the right direction of investor friendly lenders or possibly give me some input on how I could finance 5-7 more properties?  

You can only buy homes inside of a Self Directed retirement account, which TSP is not.
