In the internet age, you can get a feel for who you are dealing with unless they curate their online presence.  

This is an old article but lays out kind of the two major ways you can buy out-of-state, and the only reason I share those two different ways is because each offer a different option for how to get the market knowledge-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2012/12/2...For the DIY method, you'll have to figure out how to get it (which I recommend people resources over internet stat resources).

@Don Harris do they have internet or phone access to monthly meetings?

The Raider stadium (which I don't think will have as big an impact as they want) and the new casinos both won't be open for ~2 years or so. 

That means rent is $300 for myself, then $50 for electric, $50 for water, $50 sewage, and $50 for internet, then I'm looking at $500 it will cost me, which is what I'm currently paying in rent now.When I move out in a year, I could rent my side out for $500, and they would pay their own utilities.

One covered parking spot, one off-street parking spot (I have no car), dishwasher, washer/dryer, gas and electric, high-speed internet, keyless entry, etc.

@Oleg BrownLoopnet and CoStar are great internet sources.!

For me, the project was mostly to boost my homes resale value as I will probably move to a different school district once my daughter gets to middle school age as the assigned middle school is not very high rated..If I rent it out, I will be asking for $700 which includes internet, cable, electric and water..

You can piece this together through perusing the internet, subscribing & reading posts or blogs from Inside Self Storage, the national & your state Self Storage Association, & other knowledgeable experts, and so forth.
