I plan on building self storage on the property,  and have enough money in a CD to build the first one.

We are seeing co-living investors be able to obtain strong cashflow vs. the traditional long term rental where price points are below $320k or so.I'd pick a sub-market that you have confidence in holding over the next 5 - 10 years.Personally, I like the northern parts of the metro (Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville) for LTR and Dekalb, Clayton, Fulton) for Co-living.Feel free to ping me if you'd like to chat - happy to help!

In addition to comfort and confidence to manage close by and local knowledge.

Most self managers are intimidated by the process and put up with stressful issues like this for years and never take the simple, obvious steps.

Hi YehudaThis forum is very self-management heavy with some exceptions of full service Property Managers like myself. 

I live about an 1:30 from Freeport so I can self manage if needed. 

Yes, they use basically self showings.

We self-manage. 

I'm not trying to beat you up, but you are throwing thousands of dollars away trying to self-manage this remotely.

Also hearing better than market results from those who are self managing as consumers continue to buck excessive fees by seeking to book direct.
