1) Steve Case and Corey Donaldson's "The Secrets of Self Storage Investing"
http://selfstorageinvesting.net/secrets-self-storage-investing.php

2) Scott Meyers' "Self Storage Investing"
http://selfstorageinvesting.com/homestudycourse.html

The 1st one is a great general course, covering all aspects of purchasing through operations. The 2nd course is more about purchasing. Scott Meyers is a marketer first and foremost. He made a huge push a few years back on about every Real Estate site known to man for his course. Now they are hitting eBay, running anywhere from $100-500. It's a better price than the thirteen hundred he wants. I would suggest you buy his course on eBay and then resale it after you've absorbed everything.

The Case/Donaldson course is harder to come by, but it is worth retail IMO. It's a keeper.

Other than those two sets, the rest of the books and courses that I've seen aren't very good. In fact, I feel bad for the trees that gave up their lives for the paper they are printed on.

I've been digging into the Self Storage market for about a year now and I may be able to answer some questions you may have. If you want to, give me a shout at dave @ rainmakerconsulting.biz.
