Although not impossible, it is very difficult to find a steal through the multiple listing service or one of the online real estate sites because there is so much competition out there.

Then, you can contact 1-3 contractors for each specialty to get the most competitive bid.Hope that helps!

Competition for rentals is tough, but kudos on your purchase.

Perhaps some banks have different rules, but I have always encountered loan officers who require rent rolls to have been on the book for 2 years before counting them in the income to debt ratios, so you may not be able to use expected rents.That said, if you are newer to the investment landscape, and this is your first or second rental, you shouldn't have an issue getting a competitive loan on a primary residence and converting your current primary into a rental.

We have seen properties with an adu, do you think those would have less competition from other buyers?

What are you doing to set yourself not just apart from the competition.. that is not good enough.. what are you doing to set yourself ABOVE the competition?

I think the price will be competitive though.thanks.

How competitive are your rates? 

There is not a town in the United States, that does not need more storage, or "you" can't competitively build more storage there. 

To add to @Twana Rasoul point, San Diego has become super competitive , definitely a lot of sharks in the water, since there is a shortage in inventory but tons of prospect buyers.
