We would do a Self-Storage location with containers subject to zoning.

I use Stessa to self manage 8 properties.

Are you self-funding the transaction or will you be using a lender?

I have many questions about this topic - moving from self-managed to PM - I'll post something separately on this topic. 

I will be self-managing remotely (from NJ).

Ideally, you pick a good property that is self-sustaining.

I've helped self-managing investors find good property management after disastrous DIY experiences, and I've helped investors with terrible property management find qualified and reputable companies.

I or a partner have done at least two of his boot-camps over the years, including his land & commercial property which helped us buy our first three land joint ventures-with-the-sellers a few years ago – never has there been subsequent illegal charges, but I do read thoroughly the agreements and immediately notate in my day-timer the required termination date for any company’s teaser or rebate.Again, I empathize with those who had bad experiences with any company’s or guru’s teasers, but I’d suggest rather than avoiding teasers and rebates, take advantage of them!

I am closing on my 1st rental (Duplex) next week & I am going to self-manage the property.

As long as it's fully occupied it should be doable even as a first timer.
