I know I still have much more research and reading to do, so what I am asking is if anyone can give me any suggestions on books to read or other resources to look at?

@Dareen AllieThat saying is utter BS.You can have the best deal in the world and if you can’t put it in front of somebody that understands that it is a deal AND has resources your contracted property is going to sit there.

Also, if anyone wants to steer me towards any helpful books or resources I'd love to hear them. 

@Kelly Martinez thanks for those resources!

., if anyone has an experience or comments regarding this (by-law/zoning issues).Also, are there any resources that someone can direct me to regarding by-laws for storage facilities?

One other thing, I also wanted to second Brendan's allocation of 5% for CapEx and Maintenance but to base it on the condition of the property.
