Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

I want to reach out and get feedback on where I would be able to find off market self storage facilities and how to approach the owner?

One said the 2nd mortgage has to be assumable and the other said it did not.VA issued Circular #26­24­17 back in August to try and clear up the issue:Assumability: If the secondary borrowing is not assumable, the holder of the VA guaranteed loan should counsel the assumer that this may restrict their ability to sell the property to another creditworthy assumer through an assumption in the future.The lender currently servicing the loan still can decide whether or not they'll allow the 2nd.You could do seller financing for the gap and then refinance just that amount with a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit at some point down the road. 

We're trying to decide whether or not to pay it off or save to buy another property.

Depending on the condition you'll command a better price on the MLS vs. off market.

Quote from @Brandon Snyder: Adam, that off market inheritance lead sounds like a perfect opportunity for a first purchase.. especially since you’ve already built some rapport with the seller’s family.

Since this is something that is best done with a team of experts that know a lot more than I do I am putting this request with help from the bigger pockets community to get me started on my road to success. 

If the interest rate are close, then you should pay off the primary.
