One side of the duplex had hoarders living in it with about 18 cats, and the other side was burned out and vacant due to a kitchen fire (which then became extra storage for the hoarders next door)What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I think about the time involved in getting my camper out of storage, showing somebody how to hitch it up, fill it with water, turn on the pump and water heater, operate the fridge off of gas, hookup the electrical, and then drain everything when done.

Same thing as Storage Wars.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I’m tounge and grooving the whole room, adding a large tv, 3 arcade games, pool table, mini fridge, ….and leaning towards throwing a bunk bed in the corner, I have a week to decide. currently I sleep 9 and I have a spare twin over full bunk in storage I could use to up it to 12.

It is 1.5 stories actually with barely 6.5' of space at the peak on the second floor storage area. 7' of height on the main floor.

My investments are smaller-  $350k storage facility and $750k STR.  

I now own and operate 105 rental doors and 21 storage units. 

If you know where they bank (IF they bank), you can attach their checking account and recoup some of your money.Be careful because in Wisconsin I believe you have to pay for movers and the first month of storage.

PS - if you're ok with a little extra responsibility, you can lease spare space on your primary residence with a storage app called Neighbor.
