Congratulations Heather W. ! You are exactly right that BP gives us all something to be thankful for. 2014 was my best year yet- I exceeded all I my goals. I'm also now outlining my 2015 goals with enthusiasm and optimism. To our success!

Thank you for sharing the exact lease verbiage!!

I agree with@Scott C. 

Since this is your first rodeo, I think you stand to gain a lot of experience (both in terms of cost for labor, materials and for what all is involved in a rehab). Im my opinion, outsourcing this would be a lost opportunity to learn fair prices for each trade and learn how to intelligently request what you want in each phase of the project. 

I took the same course @Sean H. mentioned on coursera and found it really helpful

congrats @Patrick H. 

That's awesome! I look forward to reading insights from a fellow landlord

Yes I did hear Scott Meyers speak. Wow! I'm quite excited to learn a new segment of real estate. I think it will compliment my buy and hold strategy nicely. 

I have a question about how hands on the management is after acquiring a property. Is it best to be in the same city so you can physically handle things? Or could most of the management be conducted remotely? Is it like a rental property where it is best to be there in person for the initial acquisition and turn around, then once stable it can be maintained from a distance?

Erik Usselman welcome to the investing community. Columbus is a great city for building a portfolio

@Patrick H. 

I went to my state REIA conference and my mind is blown! I am now actively investigating self storage. Do you all reach out to commercial real estate brokers or reach out to owners like people do when marketing for single family homes?

Have you had any success getting owner financing for these facilities?
