Where you’re based and where you invest (or plan to invest)- I'm based in Dallas, Tx where I was born an raised.

Done and done.If you realize that those above topics are pretty much everything about Self Storage AND you learn those three (precursory will work, in-depth is better), you've got all your bases covered.

If I'm in your shoes, I recommend chatting with some local investors (attend a few meetups) to get a good sense of whats possible and not based on others that have a similar W2 scenario as yours. 

Ask for a comparison based on the current coverage and also any recommendations for better coverage. 

Without having MLS access it's more difficult, but can be done :) I would not go in with numbers based solely on hopeful STR analytics.

Then negotiate based on that.

Your mileage may vary, but if it's like it was for me (in SoCal), they will count all of your employees as carpenters.

I am sure it varies depending on the property and features like age of roof and appliances, etc.Any guidance much appreciated.Thanks,-Sig
