Should I Consider Self Storage Being New to Real Estate?

[Nicolai Grebencio]

I'm new to real estate, but I've been thinking of investing in self storage. I'm starting to have second thoughts after talking to a realtor. He's saying that it will be really tricky to convince banks to finance something like that for someone who doesn't have experience in managing commercial properties. Do you think he has a valid point and I should look into maybe SFHs/multifamilies first?
