Regarding contingency offers - Out of state investors seems growing trend, and so do you see a way to offer incentive, or compensation to boots on ground to do viewing, video, and then confidently make offer w/o seeing it during due diligence yourself..

Hi everybody,I decided to make the big first step and engage on BiggerPockets.  

Just like any new endeavor you're going to want to go into eyes wide open and learn as much as you can beforehand.Please look up investing in Self Storage on the internet - lots of articles, videos, etc. 

I am new to the site but am excited to begin engaging and learning more about investing.

Thanks, @Michael SatoIt's a great tool per the videos I've seen but the one I've been attempting to use has bugs.

Here are is my advice if yo wanna try outHave a Professional website direct to the point REMEMBER first impression is the last impressionTry to create engaging content and share on your facebook pageUse a Professional profile picture and nice cover imageRun PPE ad and target your the group of people you wanna target, interest, as well as locationLet it run for few days make sure you add your facebook pixels in your website before you run ads that will allow you to track what happening and also add Google analytic to your websiteGet a designer to design nice ad image for you LESS TEXT MORE CREATIVE.Run it for few days and keep tracking the process and after few days start a retargeting ad as well with it so people who visited your website showed some interest and than left retarget them.Above tips were simple and to the point.

It has everything you need from free online videos and educational courses to having the ability to post blogs and connect with other investors, the possibilities are endless!

Watch Brandon's videos where he analyzes actual deals and practice.

I would join as many MF groups and stay engaged on BP (as you are.)The other thing to remember is that there are only two types of people 1. those in real estate and 2. those who want to be.
