Anybody have good contacts they can recommend for a mid-seven figure self storage development deal?  

For now we're mostly interested in buy and holding low to mid priced duplexes in the area, but will surely expand our scope with time.

It's more expensive with financing then a dollar store but dirt tends to be better than a cheap built dollar store in a mid line block.

You really sound like a pitiful depressed housewife from those mid afternoon soap operas.

Myself and my clients see ROI's in the mid-teens every year.

You can always just risk it and nicely ask for the estoppel certs or mid-escrow or simply ask for the deposits from the seller mid-escrow, but they aren't contractually obligated to do anything for you.  

I a.m. very grateful for all the lessons learned.I'm mid refinance but I have a deal (a few deals) that are just too good to let pass me by.I have the rehab knowledge(I did almost everything myself).

I am a novice myself and looking to get in to my first property by mid next year. 

That being said, a small-mid size section 8 building would probably work well. 

@Nathan Seltzer actually, even with cap ex, mid to high teens is pretty standard.
