Everyone is always trying to find where their advantage is, and I think you have yours with your experience, day job and family connections.

Everything is dropped into the right categories and assigned to the right properties because I have it set up this way.

Below are just a few examples with my guess of category. 

I always try to use NNN when possible since it provides the most financial advantages for the owner and protects them from fluctuations in taxes and property insurance (which is a huge protection here in Texas). 

I am not sure if you checked this site out or not but it has a bunch of good resources and has a self-storage category: https://everyreitool.com/categ... 

So where else have you lived where you might have a competitive advantage?

Unfortunately, there are a few bad eggs who take extreme advantage of people which inevitably causes these issues.

Hello Karina,You should look into getting your Real Estate License, I think there are several advantages.1.

If you do decide to sell a couple of your properties that could work to your advantage.  

As others have suggested here, I would either sell and take advantage of the 121 exclusion or wait it out and hope for rate cuts which are supposedly coming in September
