Self Storage analysis

[Landon Dolezal]

Hey BP! I hope I can reach all the greater Seattle folks with this question. I'm a real estate agent and I'm working on my first commercial deal. I have a partner whose looking to purchase land for a self storage facility in an area that has growing residential neighborhoods and no storage. Ive got a couple different properties in mind, both are on the main road going through town so I know there's high traffic. I know I'll need to talk to the planning/developer for the city. However it goes with the saying you don't know what you don't know. So I'm hoping that the BP community could help me with what kind of questions or bits of info do I need to know to help my client with this investment? Thank you everyone!
