I strongly recommend getting involved with your local REI meetup groups so you can work out your pitch with help from other landlords.I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way without tone or facial expressions behind it. 

since purchasing the property with a 10% down portfolio loan through a local bank, I have done extensive repair work and renovations.

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.

But they are usually a bit expensive I believe.I would also go to your local REIA and ask around there.

I would get in touch with a local builder, and see about getting a mentorship on down days and days you have off..

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.
