I want to reach out and get feedback on where I would be able to find off market self storage facilities and how to approach the owner?

The rental market is a dynamic environment, and one constant is change.

I also have multiple tenants in the Ohio market that are part of the voucher program (CMHA & Eden).

Their children (now in their late 40s) inherited the house, but they have not listed it on the market, and I heard that neither is willing to move into it from their current setup, so the property has been sitting vacant.

Firstly I apologize that I do not have any market insights data specifically, but Houston has been a rough market as valuations have pulled back.

Quote from @Joy Daniels: I manage short-term rentals in the Sarasota area, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to boost occupancy rates year-round.From your experience, what marketing strategies have had the biggest impact on keeping your properties booked?

Listing your property there ensures visibility.Build Relationships: When agents reach out, respond quickly, highlight your property’s amenities, and showcase your flexibility to meet displaced families’ needs.Highlight Insurance-Friendly Features: Emphasize features like flexible lease terms, utilities included, and a fully furnished setup to attract insurance placements.This approach has helped me successfully market to insurance companies.

Low or no down, seller financing and low or no interest with a balloon payment later is the holy grail (location, building condition, market also matter but it sounds like you have all that).

I buy houses in the Memphis market.

If you're going to start in a market you're eventually going to live in, I think that's a stronger case for that market."
