Looking to purchase my first Self-Storage unit
Hello BP Community!
I'm looking to purchase my first Self-Storage unit. My biggest hurdle at the moment is finding & analyzing deals for self-storage units.
I have been trying to consume as much information as I can from various methods such as BP forums, podcast, and books.
Actively looking at loop.net and similar sites to look for self-storage units as well as come up with creative value-add ideas for prospective units.
What advise would you give to someone at this stage/starting out like myself.
Any resources that you would recommend (books/podcast/mastermind/courses/etc) would be extremely helpful as well.
Books I've read in this space:
Storing Profits - Paul Moore - This book and podcast with Paul Moore pulled me into this space :)
Raising Private Capital - Matt FairCloth
Long Distance Real Estate Investing - David Greene
I look forward to your recommendations/response!
Best,
Will

@William Thing and @Sergey A. Petrov there are many commercial brokers as well as wholesalers that focus entirely on self storage. It is helpful to have a sense of what asset class you are looking to purchase, as that will give the brokers guideance.
