I would reach out to a local RE attorney who specialized in evictions as like you said the courts are very backed up and youll have to still go through the Diversion Program (https://eviction-diversion.phi...). 

In my experience having had 3 houses with basements, grading, gutter diversion and drainage if needed are a good system of keeping your basement dry.

I currently have multiple units but looking to diversity by investing in a self-storage facility.Does anyone know of any good Self-Storage books or learning material?

The market here is as diverse as CA.

You’d be wise to look at migration rates, diversity/resiliency of the economy.

San Fran might be a one trick pony with tech and suffer those bubbles in addition to housing bubbles, so places like LA with more diversity tend to weather short term corrections much better, and bounce back much quicker.

By population growth, landlord friendliness, city size (I LOVE big cities), economic diversity, my budget and a few other factors.So Indianapolis is one of my winners which I am looking into more seriously. 

Thanks BP for attracting such diverse and interesting guests!

It just isn't diverse enough for my tastes, I'd rather overpay for a more stable market.

The area is very diverse, regarding pricing and good cash flow for multi plexes.
