Self Storage with 1031?

[Wes Eaves]

Hello all. I've been investing in SFR rentals for the past 8 years and looking at other options. In order to take the leap and commit to taking action, I decided to sell one of my SFR in order to 1031 exchange it into a Self Storage facility.

I have a business partner that has done a number of commercial transactions and investing.  

One of the things we've noticed is that calling on Commercial Brokers hasn't been that fruitful as 75% of the properties that are showing available aren't anymore.

With this being our first self storage facility purchase, I wanted to see what kind of feedback I could get on making this a reality.

Thanks in advance.
