Do you plan to self manage the property or hire a property manager?

We will require a financial co signer- owns a home with a higher credit score and sufficient income/stability.

That's a lot of checking....Anyway, it should be sufficient to have the GC certify in writing that he and his subs have the required WC at the beginning of the project.

This year I'm looking at doing a self storage facility and am currently trying to find a software that can handle my regular rentals as well as the storage facility.

I househacked and self-managed it from purchase time to December of 2020.

My goal is only to invest for my self (1-2 properties/year).

The 1031 works just fine with each of these types.As far as sector goes both DSTs and NNNs will be available in all the types of investments you mentioned, medical, multifamily, retail, supply chain logistics, self storage etc. 

I self financed the deal.

I am interested in learning about self-storage properties.
