I’m an investor with capital and was presented a potential deal to purchase an off market 83 unit self storage facility.  

This starts with how you present yourself and your business, how you answer the phone, your rental listing(s), your website, etc...

@Jeremy AltdorferI would call PMs in the market and present them your scenario.

And I would think that future booked rentals is a strong indicator of what your intent is at present. 

Well DFW is meetup central with lots of ways to learn more about real estate.DFW Investor GroupsPlease note I am not affiliated in any way with any of the groups other than that I have attended some of their meetings/presentations.

The answer is simple:Labor is finite.We can only work in the present, and once that time is gone, it’s gone for good.

One of the points to our presentation is that the families can leave anything they want, never having to clean.

@Cj PowderhornHi CJ, Regarding your Cape Coral experience, the median time on market for duplex rentals for the April to present time period was 37 days, so yes, your vacancy period for that unit was excessive.

The relatively low initial investment combined with Chattanooga’s rising real estate market presented an excellent opportunity for a quick, profitable turnaround.

Opportunities will naturally present themselves as you continue learning.
