I could see deploying $5 billion dollars in Self Storage today, even if Large REITS are taking a hit today. 

So when the RE market goes down, those who profit are RE investors who have the capital to deploy and take advantage of the opportunity, and renters continue to rent.

Currently on deployment until Nov. so I'm looking for any advice I can get, and if anyone has any documents I could read I've got nothing but time while underway to read and learn as much as I can until I get back.

We have used various methods to save up for down-payment funds: we set aside pay raises instead of consuming them, re-enlistment bonus sums, tax-free income from deployments, an inheritance check, the tax-free savings account while deployed...And so forth.  

They often do not want their money back but prefer to keep it deployed.

I say it to provide the proper context for this statement:  with all of that as background and having plenty of capital to deploy I find it hard to find suitable deals.  

If my cap rate is lower on one of my properties (around 8%), and my rents are close to market rates, that tells me I could sell the property and deploy the capital at another single family home where I could presumably achieve a higher cap rate.

How long and consistent have you been deploying 1000 weekly DM pieces, 50 Bandit signs, 20 door knocks, and 20 meetings?

But also interested in seeing where ( property type) other Georgia equity is deploying their capital and why?

How much do rents typically compress and how wide will cap rates get before you want to start deploying capital in the east bay?
