I listened to a few BP podcasts yesterday on self-storage, launromats, RV parks, etc. but was hoping to get a bit more granular on specific steps one should take in order to:explore the market (resources for this - where to look, etc.)find prospective properties (on-market and off-market)valuation methods to gauge the potential profitabilityunderstand the expectation of costs - aside from buying the property, what other things should I be thinking about?

If you look at it strategically as a geographic location it is environmentally safe (no hurricanes or tonados, no rising sea levels, no earthquakes, no forest fires) and probably most importantly for the future, it is sitting on the shore of one of the largest fresh water bodies in the world.I am only half kidding when I say climate change may benefit Milwaukee.

More and more students in and freshly out of College need to start adopting this idea.

Anyway to generate extra income through the shed/storage spaces?

When it comes to tenants, they may end their previous lease with expectations and if you can't make it, they are screwed and I don't know the legal ramifications of having to pay for a hotel, storage, etc. 

I have a few fresh land deals in NO.

Not having a W2 to give you 1 clear path may open up large apartments, trailer courts, self-storage, or anything that does not rely on a W2.
