However, those who can weather the storm stand to benefit from potentially lower interest rates and growing demand for rental units.Despite the challenges, there are opportunities for buyers with sufficient resources to capitalize on the market's current conditions.

To OP: My personal research has shown little with regards to value beyond time.

It’s got great bones and potential but I’m just at a loss as to how to move forward. 

I have been preapproved and have been touring potential houses.

haha I would like to believe people are getting much more creative and tapping into the potential of "house hacking" now.

If I want to get into self-storage, how do I find potential sellers? 

Therefore, if you are afraid you will miss the wave and drop your prices too early you will lose revenue potential.

@Kenan Dunst-Fox research the developers doing projects that interest you in your area.

Are you looking for a turnkey property that's ready to rent out immediately, or are you interested in a property that needs work, where you can add value and potentially utilize the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method?

Screening uncompromisingly and regular inspections can go a long way to mitigating potential risks.
