What are the other facilities like in the area?

The facility is only a year old.

I agree with you that Time available and energy available for *properly* managing and growing a real estate investment is the main limiting reagent for people like us. therefore my plan is to “start Small” and “make my mistakes and Learn the invaluable lessons ” without too much money or risk on the line, which is something HenryClark of Clark storage mentions in his insightful posts here on BP. i am doing my research, looking at properties,  practicing analayzing multiple deals without making an offer. my personal plan has been Narrowed down to either : 1) Buying a 1-2 acre property and building a small storage facility, or placing cargo containers, and learning the ropes. 2) buying a small existing storage facility 50-125 units (maybe owner financed) and trying to make it contactless, management software, cameras, etc.. and then scaling up and up.I really would love to partner up with a mentor on the first few deals but I guess I need to just start posting on BP and getting feedback on the ideas instead of justing reading posts.  

I would like to make $250k on cashflow annually from self-storage facilities in next 5 years. 

Lots of people also seem to be turning to MTR vs STR.....I'd look at places near medical centers....Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson...and whatever other giant medical facilities are around that cater to people that aren't always local. 

While it certainly is true Board Members are unpaid, in most, if not all states where condo/HOA's are located, there is a provision in the law that allows the Association to pay for Board Members to attend seminars, classes, and other events related to the business of operating the Association and/or facilities.

I'm blessed that my W2 job provides excellent athletic facilities, so I have HIIT workouts scheduled on my calendar 4 days a week, and then I try to do a 5th on Saturdays.

My goals for 2019 are to get my EMT B certification finish training as a federal agent for DSS (I start training on Nov 26), house hack at my first assigned field office, but an existing Assisted Living/Memory care facility, and purchase 4 out of state rental properties.

My son worked for a company that delivered prescriptions to nursing homes and similar facilities.
