Then construction started 8 years ago and in the last finishes. ( I took this long because husband decided to self build, self fund, and started adding too much detailed work that slowed down construction, he basically was building for himself, his forever home.)

Agree with @Eric M. the deals can LOOK like 20% COC but unless you are self managing and not properly accounting for all the cap/ex and tenant issues that do happen over time it's typically not real. 

I've done self storage mailers by buying a list from them.

Leonard  While I'm a business broker, let me start by saying that I would not represent your business, as I work only in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, so this isn't self-promotion - but I'll give you an idea of how we value a business that we're representing for sale.A business is valued based on the total cash flow to the owner from all sources. 

I'm self employed you just have to eat paying more in taxes or make more lol.

lolEric, if you are OOS and you are self-managing, there will be some costs associated with that, but the LL will still be ahead of the game. 

The current owner has been self managing and has no help.  

Flipping would increase your taxes because you have new self-employment taxes to pay, if you didn't use some tax mitigation strategy.Big picture observation: your taxes shouldn’t have increased just because you bought these rentals (unless these rentals gave you huge positive cash flow even after depreciation during the first year).
