The cost of the program is 35K upfront and then approximately $3500/mo for all marketing.

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?

What city is the best market? 

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Has info from a variety of professionals with no sales pitch.

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.

Good market or not so much thx 

I say that because every decent legit place I know of in market, yes offers the option of doing just tenant placement, for self-managing. 

That was first BIG red-flag for me, pitching it all as simple, easy, sure thing, quick turns etc..

Find the best local real estate investor meetups that have no pitches and you will increase your knowledge, camaraderie, and motivation ten-fold.
