We do self storage but here are the checklists we use. 

We mainly do Self storage, but are getting ready to do Contractor bays on 4 acres.Great project.

So I currently have 6 houses and a 19 unit storage facility but I am starting to realize the competition to get these houses are getting harder and harder.

To me it screams Newbie fresh out of a guru seminar.

I am interested in hearing from brokers and investors who buy and sell a lot of Self-Storage businesses on how Self-Storage is valued (i.e. is it on a multiple of cash flow like most other businesses, or is it based on cap rates) and what sort of valuations they are seeing in the market right now, understanding of course that there are differences across geographic markets.  

I've got an opportunity to purchase a deal off-market, fresh out of probate. 

I do a little of everything: Fix and Flip SFH/condos, Buying and selling  multifamily, commercial, land, warehouses, strip malls, storage units, and hotels.

The bathrooms and kitchens were remodeled, as well as installation of new lights, hardware throughout, raised panel doors, vinyl plank throughout the home, and fresh paint.

The space under the finished floor can be used for parking and storage only according to NFIP and City guidelines.""** Google the terms to learn more...

I see them quickly hand over the keys to their marketing to a freshly minted VA.
