Find an undervalued/distressed property...rehab it to rent out every available part (each bedroom separate, driveway/lot space for long term storage of boats/RV's whatever, rent out the garage separate as shop/storage space) you can to drive up revenue to fund the reno's and live in one room/unit for free while you reno the place. 

Over the last 12 months appreciation has slowed and sellers are reducing their price.3) Stay in the place as a primary residence and hold on until I could sell it at net neutral (maybe 3 more years pending how the San Diego market does) If the other options are not feasible, you may want to live there for awhile and enjoy the San Diego beaches!

If you want something more passive, look into fractional ownership or funds in niche assets like data centers or storage.

Depends on the area of the country (but then again more storage space is always welcome) and as others have said, if it is allowed by code. 

How feasible is that?

.➤ Lease Management Useful features include e-signing, lease templates, and secure storage.➤ Tenant Communication & Maintenance Portals for rent payments, maintenance requests, and messaging help streamline daily management.Trying a few platforms via demos or free trials can help you find what fits your needs best.

Sometimes you can get a zoning consultant to do a quick feasibility check for like $300-$500 instead of hiring an architect right away.A zoning map will give the zoning district but that's about all in relation to a new driveway.

So living together might not be feasible lol.

Hey all, does anyone have experience on zoning and building for mini storage units?

A few ideas: Small-bay industrial flex buildingsIndustrial outdoor storage (IOS)Boat/RV storageContractor yards or laydown yards  These types of projects create stable cash flow and typically require far less management than STRs or spec home builds. 3.
