Not for seniors who are not self-sufficient and require a nursing home.Thanks for any feedback.If you are interested, I can put you in touch with a company that organizes and finds appropriate types of properties for this need.

You can do both if you have the space and a thought-out plan.However, @Dan Heuschele is correct that the return on the investment is not always great unless you can self-build. 

Hi All,I'm a self managing landlord with a portfolio of SFH and duplexes.

I am exploring online property management software to self manage the rental property, but I see a lot of them likeAvail.coRentrediTenant cloudCozyZillowApppolioStessa and there are many.

@Jeff Gold - So drop your monthly management fee down to say $300/month for misc stuff if you were to self manage and re-run the numbers and see what your CoC is then.

If you keep the place up, once you move out and decide to rent both units you already have it budgeted, self sustaining, and it has a savings account for fixes so depending on how long you stayed and what you fixed, now it can make you money or you can start paying your premium down every other month.

I wanted something close to home because I will be self managing, but I am open to looking at neighboring/close states. 

I’m just starting to learn about self storage and I’m wanting to find the best 3rd tier markets to get started in self storage.

Many people start a business and they might even be good at it but are rarely capable of self promotion.

I am looking to hire a CPA to help me with my SDIRA and make sure what i am doing is correcte.
