If you are brand new, I wouldn't self manage from OoS.

Gives me confidence that I'm pointed in the right direction. 

Hi Robel-Thank you for sharing you have been experiencing self-doubt and its is making you feel like you will fail in your real estate investing.I appreciate your honesty and making yourself vulnerable with the question. 

Some here have self-interests.

I am looking for ideas on locating an equity partner who can provide collateral for a commercial loan to purchase a self storage facility.  

All of our self-storage run at basically 100% occupancy except for our most recent addition. 

Self-insurance is really no insurance.

I am helping a group of investors who are searching for underperforming self-storage units to buy within the Southeast and Midwest.

Looking for advice and suggestions for a Roth IRA Custodian I'm looking to roll over a traditional IRA to a Self-directed Roth by the end of the year, and use that for my investing.

If I am self managing my portfolio, what do I need to check/confirm, and what easily available tools are at my disposal (online, other) to help me do this?
