I was a public school teacher in 2015 and had three deals under my belt.

@Mel Hayes...I spent hours and hours figuring out the markets I am interested in.

So a three family is usually around $10k, however, I'm less expensive than most so if you're negotiating a purchase double that number to $5k per unit.

I only invest in opportunities I can drive to in an easy hour (no heavy traffic).

Now she’s up to market rent and been paying on time for over three years.

We're nearly neighbors.My rental unit is a 4 bedroom, my tenant lives in one bedroom and rents out the other three bedrooms to airbnb guests, so he ends up living for free (while paying my mortgage).

Heck, on several deals I would do that.I would say try to keep it in an hour radius from your home, that way you can go to it, without dedicating an entire day!

Landlord stats reset the thermostat after 2 hours and have a max of 72 or 70 depending on the model.

On an abstract level you have three ressources to invest: money, time and energy.

Of course I am the Speaker, so perhaps I'm a bit biased.Also, I do recommend the Roundtable Discussions, too.And if you'd like to stop by and introduce yourself, we will have a booth, as well - though it is not in the Expo Hall (Wednesday 04:30 PM - 07:30 PM & Thursday 01:00 PM - 05:00 PM), but rather in the "Overflow Room" which is right next to the Registration Desk AND open & available the entire Event, not the specific hours listed above.Wish you the best of luck to learn & meet anything & everything about Self Storage.
