Self Storage / New Investor in LA area

[George Boyd]

Hello,

I'm George, new to Bigger Pockets, and new to Real Estate Investing as well.  I have spent a great deal of time the past month preparing to take the plunge into real estate. I believe that Self-Storage is the niche for me, more so, investing in a Class B or C property with a distressed/motivated seller.. 

I would love to know if anyone on here in California has experience in this specific niche of Real Estate (Self-Storage) - and if so - if you're willing to share some of your experiences either over this thread, over the phone, or over a cup of coffee. I am based in LA. Even if you're not from California and would like to share some stories, I'm all ears.

I am not seeking out a mentor, but simply seeking out some discussion and conversation. 

Thanks and looking forward to it!

George
