or even more.not saying you're considering going that far out but just using an example that i can speak to.my actionable step for you after picking a market would be: make a trip to that market every month and network in person. 

I am looking to speak to some people that are knowledgeable about the self-storage market in the Memphis area. 

Generally speaking high priced RE doesn't make sense for LTR. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

What or who do you suggest I speak to or learn from to better understand my options for mortgages?

Cash Flow: The numbers currently show a negative annual cash flow -$21,242.

As a negative, it also has the largest gap between the cost to buy versus the cost to rent, making cash flow extremely difficult without committing more equity up front.

If you go in that direction, I highly recommend speaking with multiple franchisees from each brand before making a final decision.

Any insights from your experience, whether positive or negative, would be greatly appreciated.The attached link explains the current situation with the Detroit Housing Commission (DHC), highlighting that they are severely understaffed and have limited communication with both tenants and landlords.

We’re open to zero or slightly negative cash flow initially, as long as the deal provides solid equity potential.
