Im also interested in starting to invest in housing whether that be flipping, BRRR, etcMy wife, 54, is newly positioned social worker and climbing to what she feels is her max with clients.

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

@Malcolm Brown it is great that you are thinking of the money to fund the deals you are going to get started with but understanding what a deal is, I think, should be the starting point. 

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...
