Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m Josh, 26 years old, current project manager and aspiring asset manager diving into a new venture that I’m excited to share.

I've been working in this space for a while, so I can definitely share some insights, tips, and even some lessons learned from my own experiences.Whether you’re curious about neighborhoods, market trends, or just how to navigate buying, selling, or investing here, I’m happy to chat.

@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.

The city is among a number of nodes for Tesla suppliers popping up throughout the Austin metro as a result of the so-called "Tesla effect" — which is shorthand for the trend of electric vehicle suppliers flocking to the region in response to Tesla's mammoth presence in eastern Travis County, where it has a gigafactory and headquarters.

We are also going to see rates start to trend down once the 10 Year treasury start to adjust down.If you have any questions at all or need to pick a Baker's brain feel free to reach out!

Who is familiar with the market trends and can share with me some insights?

Even if the HOA currently allows rentals, it’s worth attending HOA meetings or reviewing their amendment history.
