I’m focused on strong locations and fundamentals, but also trying to be disciplined about numbers and timeline to break even.Right now I’m mostly trying to validate my buy box (i.e., are my goals reasonable?)

One issue often overlooked, if there are more units than what is permitted, the Post Office will not just deliver mail to a separate box for #2.

For 1031 buyers especially, a credit tenant in an industrial box is close to ideal — minimal management burden, clean income stream.

In many cases, thoughtful function (laundry, storage, efficient flow) beats raw square footage for this renter profile.Curious how others are adapting their buy box — are you still prioritizing larger unit mixes, or seeing similar demand around smaller, well-positioned units?

If we have our poo together, leave the tax pro plenty of lead time (not an April 14 delivery of required documents to the accountant), and provide what the accountant needs to do their job...and I don't mean a shoe box stuffed with ketchup-stained receipts, then there is no reason that we shouldn't get a minimum level of service from a tax pro. 

Items like houseplants, a small number of boxes, and delicate items that we’d like to keep out of the way of the movers.

Wow, "worst" would be hard to pinpoint...Commonly found are electrical junction boxes hidden behind sheetrock, or worse, a junction not IN a box, but just wire-nutted together..behind the sheetrock.

One thing I am facing daily is buyers giving me their buy box and when I have something that fits, they tell me a completely different story.

Happy to connect and share insights as you continue researching and building your buy box.

I create a Box account for my clients that is shared between us so we can organize their Accounting documents while they have a place to store all their Documents.
