Great company and local operation that does things right.Toledo is notorious for bad operators especially when it comes to contractors so the BRRR approach when investing out of state can end up in disaster.Just had a 1hr call with an investor that was going to purchase a property for cash and site unseen.A "reputable" realtor in town influenced him to buy without doing an inspection.Just by looking at the photo's, we could see a lot of problems with the property.Stay diligent and focus more on the people rather then the deals themselves.Much success 

Lets ask another question:according to biggerpockets forum, how to do due diligence when purchasing self storage unit ?

I recently purchased my first property which happened to be a commercial property that has, among other things, a 2 bay automotive repair shop/inspection station.

I know alot of investors are looking at vacation markets in Kentucky to purchase STR.

Purchase price: $445,000 Cash invested: $22,000 Househacked and rented out all units

I have used hard money for my last two purchases and rates are so high right now that it kills most deals.

I left the over priced birthday card I was going to buy ($8) directly underneath the sign and went to the grocery store next door and purchased a different over priced card there. 

I've actually started examining Arkansas and Alabama because you need a strong lead generator and you have to pull trigger to purchase in hours, if not minutes.

Starting a new post that I hope would gain some traction here as I haven't seen anything posted on the topic in a while (unless I overlooked).After doing some research, it seems that purchasing a seller financed property could result in a great deal for both parties.

However, amidst the turmoil, opportunities emerge as some investors seize the chance to purchase distressed properties at significant discounts.
