It is fairly important but out of your hands how the neighbors receive you but especially self managing you will want 1 or 2 neighbors on your side.

A lot of people think that they will gain "experience" when they self manage.

I'm rolling over my 401k into a self directed son and may go into notes.

I would consult a real estate agent or property manager on the price for the rental even if you plan to self rent and manage.

And you can self-manage, which you should absolutely do for both your cash flow and your education!

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Save for future expenses, especially if self-employed6.

My wife and I have self managed short, mid, and long term rentals.

Was asked in a DM what I thought about a specific Self Storage Syndication, so reposting here.Note:  We buy and develop Self Storage. 

This yields the % up or down we are in the current Q relative to the last fully closed Q, so as the transactions roll in each day I get an idea of the current Q's direction.I'll always advocate for building your own tools so you can build them to suit whatever your development schemes require for the best experience, efficiency, and confidence.
