We’re developers managing our own portfolio and don’t have any outside investors.  

The property offered a balanced investment opportunity—enough to significantly enhance its value through renovations, yet manageable in scope and cost.

Nobody watches your money like you do, you'll learn how to manage, so you can manage a manager later and you'll save precious early-years cash flow, which allows you to scale faster, especially in the first 5 years.

The key is to standardize property quality and management systems, which would appeal to buyers seeking scale.If you’re thinking long-term, holding these properties for cash flow while leveraging local appreciation is also a strong play.

Sell the properties.You mentioned having difficulty managing the properties as is.

I am just a beginner wholesaler so I haven't done much marketing/lead management yet.

I think a better option is to get a job in property management.

I've been sending people to a Realtor/property manager in Sacramento.

These properties are often easier and more affordable to manage.

@Luke Spencer I am not on the management side but I can tell you it took 2+ years to fill 300 units at one of our facilities and the other just hit 300 units in 12/13 months so it really depends on the demographics, and local housing market trend, the more people moving in and out the higher the demand for storage.I think if you're looking at a saturated market then the upfront cash to turn the warehouse into self storage is not a good idea but then again, maybe those operators are on back roads ( low visibility ) and don't push google ads well.
