The issue is that they charge an extreme amount of money for it.

It has been our experience that 50% of all good deals come from brokers, and the other 50% comes from an assortment of sources: 1) direct mail 2) cold calls 3) mobilehomeparkstore and loopnet 4) deal assingments.

You can't let emotions rule the day, but you shouldn't ignore them either.In closing, I'm not crazy experienced in this, but I feel like I'm learning extremely fast.

Books on biz and real estate that I have really like:The Book on Managing Rental Properties - BiggerPocketsABCs of Real Estate InvestingStart With Why - Simon SinekTax Free Wealth - Tom WheelrightThe E-Myth - Michael GerberCurrently reading: Extreme Ownership - Jocko WillinkOn Deck: Gary Keller's The One ThingThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - CoveyDon't recommend: The Oz Principle.

I do not have a relationship with a local bank, but my wife has an EXTREMELY good relationship with the VP of our local branch, and I'll be switching a couple of my business accounts over to that bank very soon.

You should start cold calling.

My tenants are extremely clean and vigilant. 

Run the AC for an house it least to make sure its not leaking and stays cold.

Couple that with extremely loose financing and its makingit extremely difficult to get storage at a reasonable CAP rate.

I would recommend reading one or two of the BP Investing books as a starting point as they are extremely helpful.
