I called storage places near me and figured out a competitive price.

What is your rental competition in the area. 

I understand the competition is hot in Florida and multi families are priced really high right now.I check the online sites regularly and find duplexes listed for ~200k but they're usually already remodeled, so I assume there's a deal or two somewhere..I should add that I'll be using FHA financing so maybe fixer duplex is the wrong description, dated perhaps, so I could still use the FHA loan if that makes sense.

I know there's a small cottage industry of companies doing CLE for attorneys and would imagine there must be something similar for CPAs.

I am based in New England. 30,000 foot view of my model is  to identify underutilized/value add opportunities and raise capital on a deal-by-deal basis (multi-family, industrial and self-storage).

Commercial properties offer an opportunity for forced appreciation in several ways which can yield exteremly high returns and there is less competition at the higher dollar properties, still plenty but less.

It's in an industrial area.

I've been in the financial industry for over 9 years ranging from retail and community banking to commercial real estate and small business lending through the SBA.

Some of the reasons are the competitiveness of this market (wholesalers, cash buyers & Realtors all contacting the same leads) and the fact that we're in such a crazy sellers market where folks can get even more than market value for their property.
