Lots of other industries now or in the future ( oil and tourism bad now, but nuclear storage, solar/ wind energy, potash, and agriculture are still up and running).

Hi Jacob,It's probably not reasonable wear and tear, but it looks like a typical accident with this type of flooring.In many instances just the problem tiles can be cut out and replacements re-glued down.A good maintenance tech (with the proper type of floor in place already) should be able to fix this quickly.An owner doing it:a) Might not care much and disregard it.b) Freak out and want to charge you for a whole new floor replacement, not understanding tiles (in most instances) can be changed out if broken.c) call a fix up handyman who will charge time and materials (however long he takes to fix it using his own favorite method of fixing).and if it's a property managed either a), or c) but add to c) a (possibly) charge for the mangers time handling it too.The Click Lock type of flooring may take more time and effort (cost) to fix than the Tape or Glue Down.If the place is the Taj Mahal it will probably be more noticeable than if the place is more down on it's heels.And fixing means being able to get a matching piece (typically from extra ordered when it was installed, to use for just this purpose).If you are renting in a big professionally manged complex it's likely they will have spare tiles in storage for this use, and be VERY much used to replacing them.Here is one of the easier (quicker) types to fix.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I would first see what is your focus Industrial, Multifamily, storage or so forth.

When I discovered this place, the culture, the landscapes, the people, and so much more, I was decided to get out of my comfort zone and give my life a fresh start.

A good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint go along way and it’s inexpensive. 

Looking for current information on investing in storage units.

We have no earthquakes, forest fires, hurricanes, usually no tonados, no floods and droughts - but we are on one of the largest fresh water resorvoirs.

I believe only Storage was lower.Sun / ELS REITs returns have been very strong since 2009 - see my linked in profile for the exact numbers. 

As a fresh couple, we are planning on moving to the mid - northwest coast in the future which will be a huge challenge.  

Storage generally offers a better return profile but you also need to go big there as well.
