Remote Self Storage Management?

[Chris Jones]

One of my rental properties has appreciated significantly in value, and I am considering selling it and buying a small self storage facility.  Based on my own research, it looks like there is great software for remote management of self storage, but I will need some type of on-site support as well.  For my rentals, which are all out of state, I rely on a property manager.  Are there similar services for self storage units?  I really want to avoid directly hiring someone, so that I do not have to deal with all of the paperwork that comes with having employees (i.e. payroll, benefits, etc.)  Can self storage truly be a passive income source like a rental property?
