(What do you think of the Self Storage University website?). 

Thanks for your reply it was bery informative,  I got the CAP rate from the website I saw it was posted on LoopNet.comI’m still in college I do plan on working in the next 6 months to make $20,000 at least on my part.

I'd say maybe 1/3 of my guys don't even have a website (let alone a website suitable for 2019 standards!). 

I would not use Zillow and Trulia as a main resource - but rather dig deeper as they are third party websites and despite being owned both by Zillow, Zillow can still be very OFF on valuations.2.

Do you have a website?

@Andy EdgeI went to the krei website and they have one coming up.

Essentially, he is able to buy several properties for the price of just one property that I’m finding on these websites.

By which I mean there will be free national websites for commercial  like Zillow or Trulia where you can see everything people are offering for sale and what they're asking, Sort of like CREXI or Loopnet or the one that was sued out of existence but more complete and comprehensive.But I don't think that will stop the 'pocket listing' process because that happens today in residential with really sought after properties.Nor do I think it will diminish the value of a really good commercial broker.When Zillow/Trulia/Redfin all came out people predicted all of the RE agents would lose their jobs and no one would ever pay a real estate commission again.

Does anyone have any suggestions on books, websites, blogs etc, that i can use to learn more about the Columbus market?

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website!
