Especially, when people use the word for their self.

I have been trying to acquire a self storage facility since I moved to the Charleston area.

Terry Burger a close friend and associate of mine is a self-proclaimed data geek and his super power is understanding the retail consumer and how to find opportunities in current data trends.

Seems like the owner self manages and doesn't do a good job.

This entire discussion is really walking the line of self promotion, which is not allowed on BP.

I know this is based on the goals I have for my self but a general rule of thumb, after deducting expenses from my cash flow, should I A) Use the extra $ and put it in the mortgage B) Save, save, save to buy another property in the futureC) Is there a third option that I'm missing?

  (3) No location preference at this time, but I think part of the tax qualification involves some level of self management, at least to part of the portfolio (clearing that up with my CPA in one week) so I'll do one CA property at least. 

Hopefully a quick question here… I am looking to self manage our 2 vacation rentals in Paso Robles, CA.

Badly qualified applicants don't want to waste their money, so they "self screen".
