Whether buying land to develop, buying existing Storage locations, reduce risk of over inventory of storage units in one market, TIME waiting for either land or a location to become available for sale, while we are trying to grow our business.Start small and MAKE YOUR BIG MISTAKES EARLY. 

@Leo CuomoRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Any advice or tips on taking over a lease would be greatly appreciated - specifically around questions to ask before close, mistakes, and best practices.

Let me just stop you before you make a big mistake.

BP is still the best place to go for free education and resources. in my mind make no mistake a lot of the folks that were early on this site and wrote books etc BP has made them a ton of connections and millions in revenue over the years..

You mention you have no experience in these types of parks and your first deal you want to take down 100.When I was working for a GC we did a condo project for a developer who never developed a building before and he sold his company (it company) and used the entire amount to develop real estate.He ended going bankrupt because his inexperience with his experience and his designers and every mistake they made was multiplied by 150 since that is how many units there were.

I don't think it's worth it to me in the long run from past mistakes and I'm going to stick to my standards.

I find that two of the biggest mistakes are in the manner in which you ask for the money (there is a good way and a not so good way) and not having enough knowledge on the subject and the proper info on the presentation of the deal itself.When I need to fund I deal, I am not asking for money, I am offering a legitimate and alternative opportunity for others to make money.

@Henry Bagh it appears what you really want is a personal assistant.Otherwise, Encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.
