Hey Everyone,I am under contract for a small self storage facility (36 Units).

Note this implies that by self managing, the STRs can do far better than the LTRs.

Could anyone who has become a "self made" developer please provide some guidance on how they did it?

It's unfortunate you took my advice as an attack on you or a defense of PMC's in general.There are a LOT of bad PMC's and I have no problem calling them out.But, I also have no problem holding owners responsible for their poor hiring decisions.We've only heard your side of the story and I've learned many hard lessons from jumping to conclusions with only half the story.Best of luck to you:)

That takes my time most nights, and weekends to receive/pack/ship those products but is super flexible with time.On top of that, I self manage 6 of my own rentals, the cash flow pays for my current mortgage and repairs so it makes living in my primary house free.Experience now:My wife and I have 6 rental homes locally, all rented, all cashflow.

If you're self-managing, having a reliable team of cleaners is essential, as a spotless property leads to great reviews and repeat guests.
