Call me stupid then.I own 4 properties in my IRA that I bought with IRA cash.

Look at the section called:"What do I do if my landlord does not give me back my security deposit?"

I have a self storage owner come to me with an off market deal for his 84 unit business with room to expand.

Would any investors in the area be willing to point me in the right direction of high quality property management companies? 

So make sure to follow me!

None of the big banks would consider me at the time either.

Good luck trying to get the tenants to absorb some of the costs.It was on me not knowing that the market did not support a sort of bill back for the asset that I owned.Commercial brokers and property management companies in the area can also help you

If the reno is done correctly, and screening is also done correctly, it can me a money maker.

Nice attempt to discredit me.

Your outdoor setup reminds me a little bit of this classic movie scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?
