I’m just trying to figure out where to start in terms of figuring out what makes sense.

Start with the end in mind --- what would be the investor's exit strategy for this home? 

Start by attending real estate meetups, BiggerPockets forums, and local investor groups to connect with potential partners.

So I'm interested in getting started in purchasing and running self storage facilities and want to learn more.  

@Krista Lance, I would say with 7 properties that its a good time to start thinking about bookkeeping software.

Start small and Make Your Big Mistaes Early.

I ask why and they say "well I did not know my grandpop was going to die" and right when they say that usually they start to understand.Correct.  

I would recommend joining ULI (Urban Land Institute) They have a network of people that can provide exactly what you are looking for I discovered their youtube page last year and started binging......I would like to do the same...

@Omar Fernandez - you can start by reaching out to some attorneys, NYC is an attorney city so you'll have to get an attorney involved (who usually orders the title search). 

🎉🫡I wish you all the best as you start a new chapter!
