Fractional sale of operations ≠ fractional sale of landMost people confuse these two.You can buy part of the business.You cannot buy part of the dirt unless it’s legally divided.Bottom lineBuying “10 pads” physically is almost impossible.Buying part of the park or the income is absolutely possible and very common.

On the physical building:Understand what you’ll need to replace and when.

I really like that Stessa and Baselane offer high earning interest accounts and physical debit cards and sounds like Stessa offers checks.

They are up against a physical reality that they don't want to accept mentally.

It’s less about physical location and more about how active she is in running the show.A lot of investors in similar setups document their hours carefully and stay involved in decisions and communication with their PM.

Physical evidence shows that the fire started there, grew to reach the eaves, spread across the attic… add two fire hoses…The cord, the camera, the firewood, and the fire pit all belonged to the tenant - the one who probably didn’t think you’d ever read the FD report.

Self storage has very little deterioration of the physical asset, so no devaluation is assumed.The good thing about the above is they are the Current day NPV equity. 

Where to market theseThe rent-to-own websites are useless, you’re not wrong.The best traffic sources are still:Zillow (just label it “Rent-to-Own / Lease Option Opportunity”)Facebook Marketplace (strongest lead volume)Local FB buy/sell groupsCraigslist (still converts surprisingly well)Yard signs absolutely still worth doing for this nichePeople looking for lease options respond VERY well to physical signs because they often drive the neighborhood looking for opportunities.3.

@Christopher Tinelli  for student rentals use any opportunity when you physically meet the parents or tenants to clarify roles/responsibilities.

Easement law is very fact-specific and judges take “over-improvement” seriously.Bottom line:Clear the legal path before you pave the physical one.
