@Jared Smith it depends is pretty spot on!!!  

Most times you can be pretty safe estimating an hour for this, but if your property is in a rural area or a heavily congested urban area with slow-moving traffic, you may need to be realistic about it taking longer.BTW: you should be realistic about a Service Call fee even for little jobs.

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

The frameworks others have presented of viewing the site as a lead-generation tool where you, as the host, are handling all the payment processing and screening is pretty accurate. 

I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

Pretty much everything. 

Rental market is pretty strong, there are a lot of good economic drivers.

Had someone in mind who I thought would be great but he wants to add fees that I feel are unfair including $200 admin fee (on top of credit report fees) and mandatory 41.45 monthly for enrollment in their program which includes rental insurance and hvac filters, identity ins, and a few other little things.I've managed to keep costs pretty low for my tenants but realize I've been cheating myself. one is buying. 

Its pretty specific to Oregon I dont see these in other states i build in.. although it could just be included in the settlement statements as a matter of course..

I didn't want to list this under Scenario 1 as it's redundant and whether or not having more control over your down payment is a pro/con is pretty case-specific.3. ???
