Self storage broker or mentor recommend?

[Arya Chen]

Hey BP community,

I’m investing in a self-storage facility for the first time and have narrowed down my options to a few properties, mainly in Texas, New York or Arkansas.

1. I’m looking to work with a broker who has experience with self-storage transactions to ensure a smoother process for a first-time buyer. Does anyone have recommendations?

2. If not, how do people typically get started with their first deal? Would it be worth paying a mentor for guidance on structuring the LOI and analyzing the finances together. Any recommendation?

Thanks!
