Interest in purchasing Storage Units

[Taylor Morris]

Hey folks, 

First post here. I am a recent college graduate with a net income of 40k, and I am eager to get started on acquiring properties. I have heard a great place to start is with self storage units. Easy to manage, easy to contract, like the baby version of residential/commercial RE.

Since my current capital is laughable due to my limited time in the "real world", I am not opposed to the idea of finding a hard money lender to help with the process, but I am struggling to educate myself on the ins and outs of the purchasing market. It seems the internet is saturated with only renting options, which is obviously not my intention. I know I am on the starting steps, but any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
