For self storage you should go to https://www.radiusplus.com/ and run analysis of this property for the 1, 3 and 5 mile supply/demand along with the rates to see if the current rates are below market leaving some room to bring them to market.   

Contractor still wants your business and agrees to original contract (often to his detriment) Supply chain issues + inflation = a bad deal for sub contractor. 

One thing I would keep in mind: A property regulation is typically only considered a taking(requiring compensation) if it majorly impairs or eliminates the "economic value" of the property.

In my observation, most cities with rent control have actually seen the biggest appreciation because of the limited supply that rent control often causes.

We’re kind of at this point now where we have enough free and clear Realestate that while I wouldn’t say we have an endless supply of cash, but we can take down any deal we come across.

I don't want to be subject to additional rules and regulations.

When you buy a property, you also lock in multiple other costs, regulations, and more, as shown below.

In addition to lack of supply, rising labor costs continue to erode developer profits.

Sometimes I supply materials and the electrician doesn’t use them because they’re half-doing the work.

The lender requires and the state regulations on insurance companies come into play.
