If you were in my shoes, what would you prioritize at this stage of the journey?

Any advice for getting into Self-Storage as a new to CRE investor?

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

Now the biggest impactor is often the least spoken on which is energy storage.

Now, if the deal is so sweet that someone may want to step into your shoes prior to closing for a large fee, make the contract including the seller financing terms freely assignable and ironclad.Good luck.

Digitize physical receipts for easy storage and use a consistent naming convention for easy sorting - 2024.03.25 Home Depot.Maintain proper records, such as contracts, settlement statements, and promissory notes.Additionally, you can track income and expenses consistently using software or spreadsheets.As you scale, if bookkeeping isn't fun, consider hiring a bookkeeper for a couple hundred bucks per month.

There's plenty more topics to consider, imagine yourself in their shoes living in a home with 4 other random strangers. 

It also sits on 2 acres with separate buildings for animals and a nice storage shed.

But this diversifies from just Self Storage.  

@Henry Clark is an expert on Storage development maybe he could give some pointers.
