Certainly, you're more likely to get something truly underpriced if you are pounding the pavement for your own leads rather than relying on a broker (there are examples of people on BP doing this).

@Charlie Moore I went with asphalt millings on one of mine.

We need to get out of this thought that self-storage is just rows of metal boxes with doors on a asphalt parking lot. 

Hopfully you can get away with something besides asphalt or concrete for the parking expansion to cut back on cost.

The contractor inspections always include electrical, plumbing, and septic/sewer (to address the underground infrastructure) but also can include pool, home inspections, asphalt, and more, depending on the park.

I just recently purchased a duplex on an 8000 sf lot, about half of the lot is an asphalt parking area.

To his credit these properties are located in a historic district and trying to do much to the exterior other than painting, planting, and pavement is next to impossible.
