You didn't ask about this, but be careful with putting private info like SSN in them, they are not very secure.

I would not view this investment as a "retire early" but rather a secure investment for your older years.

My goals are to:- Complete my first deal before the end of 2018- Take @Brandon Turner surfing here in NJ- Use stack method to grow my portfolio- Own one storage facility in my lifetimeI’m looking to make friends and partnerships here.

Inventory is low and because of my other business and obligations, I don't have the time to invest into yellow letter marketing or other methods that require a lot of extra time.

Hi all, I’m curious how soon after approving an applicant and taking a security deposit you require the tenant to start paying rent?

This was considered a win-win situation for both us and our goals (they are retiring and I am just getting started).I secured a cash out refinance in my name in order to pay this family member (and myself) back. 

The securities laws require any publicly-sold securities to be registered, which is an expensive process.  

Were you able to secure a long trail of historical rent rolls before purchasing?

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Also, worst case scenario is if you leave secure job, and lose your $80k in BRRRR.
