What’s your game plan for managing the park — hands-on or hiring a property manager?  

We have no interest in contact data gathering, as that space has been well developed. 

You just need a good property manager.

I am invested in a small multi family in TX and the management was not able to fill the property and do repairs and the income has dwindled badly.

Not sure if you’d get people with developer in their profile by editing filters.

@Patrick Drury what did you think of Propertyware and Rent Manager?

Acquiring your 2nd STR is predicated on your successful acquisition and management of your first, and there are a lot of practical skills to learn on #1.  

I has two GREAT property managers that immediately come to mind, one handling 5 high end high rise condos I owned in Phoenix and the other one handling a 12 unit very lower end apartment building I owned in Arlington, Texas.  

We develop and consult new developers through the full cycle of development.Financing differs from project to project based on your equity, land cost, construction methods, etc.

@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.
