Any tips, videos or ideas anyone could suggest to help us make our first move possibly a step towards investing in real estate? 

I find short videos are the best way. 

Check out Simon Sinek’s video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

So far it's been great, I was very nervous at first but I found great info in the forums and youtube videos that helped me take the first steps.

It’s not quite zoned for actual storage units but I could get away with one bigger building for a single business.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I guess people need to make notes  and read books and  see Youtube videos and then target a  few markets and then use zillow  etc to see long term appreciation etc and then formulate who they want to team up with to start the journey..

Take a video as you enter and walk through the property and narrate what you see!

The median price for my market Milwaukee is $225,000 (which BTW has doubled in the last 9 years), so anything below is C and anything below half the median (112k) is D.I pulled numbers yesterday on every neighborhood for my next YouTube video and we have seen the highest % of median sales price increase YTD (the closest thing we have to measure appreciation) and the best neighborhoods are seeing the highest % - even though their median sales price is already the highest.You can map that out by simply putting a hypothetical portfolio in the BP rental calculator and see what happens after 10 years to a cash flow portfolio or an appreciation portfolio.
